Two people are accused of being part of a group involved in the events in Babi Yar in WWII, but others say there is not sufficient evidence the accused were involved.

How much relief is awarded by bringing people to justice, and how much relief can be found by releasing the hatred and resentment and forgiving?
The Story of Twin Eva Mozes Kor
I saw a striking video about Eva, a woman who was one of twins, experimented on by Mengele in Auschwitz. In the video she describes how she asked a former Nazi to write and sign a document describing what he saw. Later she wrote and said she forgave him, and she said that she felt much better, empowered afterwards.
After watching the video on Facebook I discovered that not only did she meet a camp attendant who used to watch the people dying in the gas chamber, she adopted as a grandson a descendant of camp commander Höss.
Further searches revealed that she had written a book and set up an educational foundation in Indiana, USA. She grew up in Transylvania in Romania.
