A Blessing, Not a Burden with Alex Kor and Graham Honaker

By all accounts, Dr. Alex Kor's life has been a miracle. The son of two Holocaust survivors, including the Mengel twin Eva Kor, Alex will discuss his book A Blessing, Not a Burden. In his book, Alex details his incredible journey, from his unique upbringing to his present-day mission of carrying on his parents' inspiring legacy. From his mother's controversial stance on forgiving the Nazis to his father's unbridled optimism, Alex shares life lessons that have helped him overcome his own hardships along the way.

Alex also offers his own perspective on forgiveness as he nurtures his parents' legacies in a world still fraught with discrimination. Dr. Kor and Honaker will be interviewed by Troy Fears, Executive Director of CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center. Presented in partnership with CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center, Hooverwood Living, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis.
