Eva Kor: A Holocaust Survivor - Who turned Tragedy into Triumph
Show Notes

This podcast will be the incredible story of Eva Mozes Kor, who was a Holocaust survivor. She and her twin sister, Miriam, were also part of a medical experimentation program at Auschwitz, run by Dr. Josef Mengele. As an adult, and to deal with her trauma and grief, Eva started a Holocaust museum in Indiana (CANDLES*). Through an in-depth and fascinating interview with Leah Simpson, the Education Director of that museum, you will hear highlights of her life story. You will also learn that Eva in her later years, through a series of events, decided to embark on a path of forgiveness. Update: Troy Fears is currently the Executive Director at CANDLES.
