DALLAS — The late season winter storm has postponed Holocaust survivor Eva Mozes Kor’s presentation at Misericordia University.

The sold-out lecture is rescheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 12 in Lemmond Theater in Walsh Hall at Misericordia University, 301 Lake St., Dallas, Paul Krzywicki, manager of the Office of Public Relations and Publications at the University.

Kor and her twin sister, Miriam, were 10 years old in 1944 when their family was forced into a cattle car and transported to Auschwitz concentration camp.
The sisters were separated from their mother and used as “human guinea pigs in genetic experiments under the direction of Dr. Josef Mengele,” the news release stated.
Kor and Miriam survived and removed from the facility along with nearly 200 other children by the Soviet Army.
Kor, 82, opened CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1995.
Kor’s traumatic story and personal strength to preserver were documented in a film called “Forgiving Dr. Mengele and a book called, “Surviving the Angel of Death: The Story of a Mengele Twin in Auschwitz.”
She has become an advocate for genocide prevention and has taken her message worldwide.
