SUMMARY:HHREC - Memory Keepers Story Hour: A Talk With Authors of “A Bles
 sing\, Not a Burden” Book
DESCRIPTION:Authors Dr. Alex Kor and Graham Honaker will appear on the HHRE
 C 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 par
 ents Eva and Mickey Kor as they managed to survive the unimaginable horror
 s of life in a concentration camp during the Holocaust and how they positi
 vely impacted Dr. Kor. He is a member of the CANDLES Holocaust Museum and 
 Education Center Board of Directors\, and assisted in establishing an exhi
 bit (Eva Kor from Auschwitz to Indiana) to honor his mother in downtown I
 ndianapolis. Graham Honaker serves as Executive Director of Principal Gift
 s 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 sufferin
 g yet at the same time\, so much spirit. It is a spirit I got to see first
 hand when I interviewed Eva Kor at Auschwitz in 1985\, on the 40th anniver
 sary of its liberation. She spoke of her horrors but also of her forgivene
 ss. 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\, t
 he so-called “Angel of Death.” As one of the hundreds of sets of ident
 ical 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 j
 ust that.\nGreg Dobbs\, Emmy Award winning former ABC News correspondent\n
 These 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 th
 at their choices matter\, and that one person can make a difference.
