FORGIVING DR. MENGELE [**] (Two stars)

‘FORGIVING Dr. Mengele” is about a four-star life – too bad it’s trapped in a two-star movie.

The life belongs to Eva Mozes Kor, a Holocaust survivor who angered some when she publicly “forgave” Josef Mengele, the infamous Nazi angel of death who performed ghastly experiments on imprisoned Jews during World War II.

“Forgive your worst enemy,” she says. “It will heal your soul, and it will set you free.”

Kor and her twin sister, Miriam, were the only members of their family to survive the Holocaust. Instead of being killed, the 9-year-olds became two of Mengele’s human guinea pigs. (Miriam died in 1993 of a kidney ailment possibly brought on by drugs injected into her by the Nazi sadists.)

“Forgiving Dr. Mengele,” directed by Bob Hercules and Cheri Pugh, follows Kor as she travels worldwide preaching her belief that “getting even has never healed a single person.”

She’s a brave woman and her story is worth hearing, but the film is mostly dry and uninspired. An extraordinary woman like Eva Kor deserves a less ordinary biography.

Running time: 80 minutes. Not rated (disturbing images). At the Two Boots Pioneer Theater, Avenue A and Third Street.
