January 27th marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the most notorious concentration camp in the Holocaust. Eva Kor was a survivor of Auschwitz, and went on to be a world-renowned ambassador for hope, healing, and humanity. She lived her final 59 years in Terra Haute, Indiana, before passing away last July 4th. 

As a part of a statewide effort backed by the Indiana Library Federation, we will celebrate January 27th, 2020 statewide as Eva Education Day. The Floyd County Library will be hosting a screening of the Emmy award winning documentary "Eva: A-7063", which tells Eva's story of surviving experiments by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, launching the biggest manhunt in history, and traveling the world to promote what her life journey taught: Hope. Healing. Humanity.

A short, highly inspirational speech Eva intended to give at the Auschwitz liberation ceremonies will be shown after the film, as delivered by Dr. Michael Berenbaum.
