Join us for an unforgettable afternoon with Dr. Alex Kor, son of two Holocaust survivors, and co-author Graham Honaker, as they share the deeply moving story behind their acclaimed book, A Blessing, Not a Burden. This powerful new work chronicles the extraordinary lives of Alex’s parents—Eva Mozes Kor, a well-known Holocaust educator and survivor of Josef Mengele’s experiments at Auschwitz, and Mickey Kor, a fellow survivor who later served in Israel’s 1948 War of Independence. With heart and clarity, the book also explores how their legacy shaped Alex’s life and deepened his own call to remembrance, resilience, and forgiveness.
