If my cable company picks up Oprah, I’ll keep an eye out for the Colvard. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

The film played on the festival circuit last year and has been bought by Oprah Winfrey’s production company, presumably to play on her new network, so it should get a little more exposure in the coming year.

She’s a free woman now, while you’re busy arguing about Israel and Palestine – scenes that quickly receded in my mind (so I’m glad you reminded me of them). She’s free of Hitler and Mengele and the soul-murder that accompanies stark evil.

That is an amazing act/process of psychological growth. I wish every abused child and raped woman and persecuted minority and war victim could see this film.

Eva Kor spends much of her time educating schoolchildren; did you forget the scenes of her comforting them one by one afterward? Every human soul has been traumatized by the actions of others; a middle class teenager’s suffering doesn’t compare to Mrs. Kor’s, yet it’s just as real to that child.

“Forgiving Mengele” isn’t about Mideast politics or systematic theology, it’s about healing ministry.

You’re right to highlight some of her passionate arguments with her fellow Holocaust survivors; I found those scenes gripping, and I was so glad Jona Lake had the courage to take her on in front of the camera. But every one of Ms. Lake’s arguments came down to one simple thing: If I forgive, it is as if Auschwitz never happened and the whole thing is forgotten.

In other words, she still wants massive apologies from now-dead Nazis, as if they should tear their hair out, put on sackcloth and ashes and sit outside the gate wailing for the rest of their lives.

I’m sorry, but that is childish, childlike thinking that goes all the way back to that horrible victim experience when she was indeed a child. It’s only natural her emotions have never changed since that time. She still hangs on to her rage, which she has a right to, but it has ruined her life. (Her hidden motivation is revenge.)

Eva Kor tries to talk her out of it, but she’s no psychotherapist, she sells real estate in Terre Haute, Indiana and has successfully raised two fantastic kids.

Ms. Lake raises a dead-serious objection; there are of course Holocaust deniers, some of them powerful and organized. The Holocaust must never, ever be forgotten. But she repeatedly equates forgiveness with forgetting, in front of a woman who’s established a Holocaust museum!

That fallacious equation is Ms. Lake’s childhood thinking, however immature it is and no matter how entitled to it she is.

The perpetrators seldom apologize, and it doesn’t mean much if they do.

Eva Kor tries and fails to get Ms. Lake out of the mental box she has trapped herself in – as almost every victim of tragedy does.

For heaven’s sake, the world is in no danger of forgetting the Holocaust, no matter what stupid thing Ahmandinajad and neo-Nazis say. It’s a central fact of human history and honey, the internet is eternal.

Let go; survive. Don’t ruin your life over this, but live well as the best revenge. Educate the next generation, as Eva Kor does, with a book, an award-winning film, personal appearances, correspondence with total strangers and assembling all the evidence you can get your hands on.

Not bad for a real estate lady from Terre Haute. She may not believe in Jesus but she’s living out his advice: forgive seventy times seven.

He was a healer, and by God so is she.
