SUMMARY:HHREC - Memory Keepers Story Hour: A Talk With Authors of “A
 Blessing\, Not a Burden” Book
DESCRIPTION:Authors Dr. Alex Kor and Graham Honaker will appear on the
 HHREC Memory Keepers Story Hour to talk about their recently published
 book A Blessing\, Not a Burden. The book chronicles the lives of Dr.
 Kor’s parents Eva and Mickey Kor as they managed to survive the
 unimaginable horrors of life in a concentration camp during the Holocaust
 and how they positively impacted Dr. Kor. He is a member of the CANDLES
 Holocaust Museum and Education Center Board of Directors\, and assisted in
 establishing an exhibit (Eva Kor from Auschwitz to Indiana) to honor his
 mother in downtown Indianapolis. Graham Honaker serves as Executive
 Director of Principal Gifts at Butler University. The book has earned
 widespread acclaim from major universities\, media correspondents\,
 governors\, actor Elliott Gould and many others.\n\nA Blessing\, Not a
 Burden is the story of so much suffering yet at the same time\, so much
 spirit. It is a spirit I got to see firsthand when I interviewed Eva Kor at
 Auschwitz in 1985\, on the 40th anniversary of its liberation. She spoke of
 her horrors but also of her forgiveness. As if it’s not enough that
 against all odds\, she survived the Nazi death camp\, she also survived
 something even worse: Dr. Josef Mengele\, the so-called “Angel of
 Death.” As one of the hundreds of sets of identical twins who became
 experimental fodder in Mengele’s degenerate lab at Auschwitz\, she
 survived his persistent and perverted procedures while he murdered other
 twins just to have corpses for his experiments. Her spirit is something to
 emulate. Her life is something to honor. This book does just that.\nGreg
 Dobbs\, Emmy Award winning former ABC News correspondent\nThese stories
 offer a unique opportunity to hear from a very special group of Survivors
 and next generation family members about the consequences of hate\, and the
 power of hope\, as they help people reflect and realize that their choices
 matter\, and that one person can make a difference.
