In the summer of 1944, Eva Mozes Kor and her family arrived at Auschwitz.Within thirty minutes, they were separated. Her parents and two older sisters were taken to the gas chambers, while Eva and her twin, Miriam, were herded into the care of the man who became known as the Angel of Death: Dr. Josef Mengele. They were 10 years old. While twins at Auschwitz were granted the 'privileges' of keeping their own clothes and hair, they were also subjected to Mengele's sadistic medical experiments. They were forced to fight daily for their own survival and many died as a result of the experiments, or from the disease and hunger rife in the concentration camp.

V lete roku 1941 nacisti deportovali Evu Mozesovú Korovú a celú jej rodinu do Osvienčimu. V priebehu tridsiatich minút ich od seba oddelili. Eviných rodičov a staršie sestry poslali rovno do plynovej komory, kým Eva a jej sestra-dvojička Miriam sa ocitli v rukách Mengeleho, ktorý bol známy aj ako Anjel smrti. Mali vtedy len desať rokov. Dvojičky mali v Osvienčime určité „privilégiá“ – mohli nosiť vlastné oblečenie a nevyholili im hlavy dohola, ale stali sa objektom Mengeleho sadistických experimentov. Veľa z nich zomrelo v dôsledku pokusov, chorôb a hladovania. Ale ďalšie prežili vďaka obdivuhodnej detskej vynaliezavosti, odvahe a neochvejnej vôli žiť. Eva si s odstupom desaťročí spomína na svoje šťastné detstvo v Transylvánii, vzostup antisemitizmu a jeho vplyv na jej rodinu. Mesiace strávené v Osvienčime opisuje vecne, citlivo a s veľkou dávkou nadhľadu. Jej rozprávanie je inšpiratívnym príbehom o vytrvalosti, odhodlaní a boji o prežitie tvárou v tvár extrémnemu zlu. V epilógu Eva hovorí o svojej nevšednej ceste k uzdraveniu a pozoruhodnom rozhodnutí verejne odpustiť nacistom. V Spojených štátoch amerických, kam sa z Izraela presťahovala za manželom, založila múzeum holokaustu, prednášala po celom svete a organizovala exkurzie do Osvienčimu. Svoj život zasvätila šíreniu posolstva o odpustení, mieri a odstránení nenávisti a predsudkov na svete.
