Mission:
CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center contributes to the empowerment of the world through hope, healing, respect, and responsibility by shining a light on the story of the Holocaust, Eva Kor, the Mengele twins, and other survivors.
Serving Our Community:
Through the lens of the Holocaust, visitors of all ages can learn about the consequences of choices, the importance of never giving up, the dangers of prejudice, and the need for genocide prevention today. Our permanent exhibit, Choices: The Holocaust Through Eva’s Story, details the story of Eva Kor, Holocaust survivor and Mengele Twin, from before the war and through the rise of Nazism to surviving Auschwitz concentration camp and her journey of forgiveness.
