"Moving forward,
I can only hope that future generations will remember my parents."
A Blessing Not a Burden:
My Parents’ Remarkable Holocaust Story & My Fight to Keep Their Legacy Alive
In the wake of a rise in global antisemitism, Dr. Alex Kor (along with Graham Honaker) has released a new memoir chronicling his life as well as his parents, Eva and Mickey Kor, both Holocaust survivors.
By all accounts, Dr. Alex Kor’s life has been a miracle. The son of Mickey and Eva Kor, two Holocaust survivors who narrowly escaped death, Alex grew up in Indiana – a state with Midwestern charm and an ignominious history of prejudice. In A Blessing, Not a Burden: My Parents Remarkable Holocaust Story and My Fight to Keep Their Legacy Alive (Pediment Publishing), Dr. Kor details his incredible journey, from his unique upbringing to his present-day mission of carrying on his parents’ inspiring legacy. From his mother’s controversial stance on forgiving the Nazis to his father’s unbridled optimism, Dr. Kor offers his own perspective on forgiveness as he nurtures his parents’ legacies in a world still fraught with discrimination. He’s traveled a long and winding road, from Terre Haute, Indiana to Auschwitz and many places in between and like his parents, he has endured … and overcome.
A Blessing, Not a Burden takes readers back to one of the most horrific periods in human history, reminding us of the repercussions of hate and warning us that history can repeat itself. Yet, at the same time, the story of the Kor family stands as a living memorial to the belief that the human spirit can overcome even the darkest of circumstances.
