Documentary: Forgiving Dr. Mengele

Forgiving Dr. Mengele is a documentary that is an interesting show about the holocaust survivors who were twins that were experimented on.  It is a mixed feeling between the groups, most don't believe they can forgive on behalf of those who have died.  They don't want to forgive, because they believe in order to forgive you have to forget.  Eva who is the main subject of this doesn't believe that you must forget what happened.  She says that to forgive them means not allowing the pain of the situation rule your life.  She opened a museum, she does tours, she also travels and does speaking engagements about the holocaust, and her personal experiences.

For me and my personal issues with forgiveness, I feel I am on this track as well.  I will not/can not forget, but I can however decide to not let it be a part of my everyday life.  It was a little by little process for me, to realize you can't change the past, you can't change people they must change themselves, and you can't forget things.   However I can take my anger and pain, turn it around.
