Writing a letter of forgiveness to the Nazis helped me discover I have "power over my life", says Holocaust survivor Eva Mozes Kor.

Eva and her twin sister Miriam had been victims of Josef Mengele, the SS physician known as the 'angel of death' who performed inhumane medical experimentation on prisoners at Auschwitz - many of his victims were twin children of Jewish and Roma descent.

Speaking to 5 live, Eva said the act of forgiveness was the "last interaction" between her and Josef Mengele.

"I wasn't hurting anybody so why couldn't I do it? And if I forgave Mengele, the worst of them, I decided to forgive everybody who has ever hurt me."
