Intertwined Lives

Back in August I posted about working with CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center on an exhibit for the Museum. Well, last Thursday the exhibit was unveiled with a reception and it looks great!

The exhibit is made up of 11 four-foot by four-foot panels: one title panel and ten that each tell a bit of the story. Eva Mozes Kor, the museum's founder, and her twin sister Miriam were part of experiments in Auschwitz under the direction of Dr. Josef Mengele. Eva and Miriam were freed in the liberation of Auschwitz, and over the years Eva became interested in educating the public about the Mengele twins as well as the power of forgiveness. This exhibit, entitled "Intertwined Lives: Dr. Mengele, Eugenics, and the Mozes Twins," is a pilot exhibit that Eva and the Museum hope to expand upon in coming years. (Learn more about CANDLES.)

Here, Eva is being interviewed by the local media. (You can watch WTWO's clip on the opening here.)
