SURVIVING DEATH

Since Eva and Miriam survived the battery of tests given to them, they were given more benefits. Their meals were of larger proportions, they were allowed to keep their hair, and they were able to use their very own clothes. But while they survived the injections to the different parts of their bodies, including their eyes, little did they realize the long-term effects of this harrowing experience.

GOODBYE TO CHILDHOOD

The year spent with Mengele forced Eva and Miriam to grow up. They were no longer the innocent, carefree girls they used to be. They were one of the few who survived the experiments. How they managed to do it is still a mystery to Eva. It was a miracle that they were alive at all. She and her sister even survived the machine gun attacks that came from the Soviet Soldiers who were there to fight the Nazi guards.
