Associated Press Distributes News of Eva Kor's Honorary Degree from DePauw

March 22, 2018

"Holocaust survivor Eva Mozes Kor will receive an honorary degree from western Indiana's DePauw University," begins a nationally distributed Associated Press update. "The liberal arts school in Greencastle says Kor will be among three people recognized with honorary doctoral degrees during its May 20 graduation ceremony."

The other honorees, as announced by DePauw on Tuesday, are community leaders Jinsie Scott Bingham '56 and Dorothy Chapman Brown.

"Kor is a longtime Terre Haute resident and Jewish native of Romania who was sent in 1944 to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where most of her family was killed. Kor and her twin sister survived, but were subjected to inhumane medical experiments," notes AP. "Kor founded the Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors museum in Terre Haute in 1985 and has since championed forgiveness for those who carried out the Holocaust atrocities."

The story is available via numerous media outlets, including the San Antonio Express-News, U.S. News & World Report, the Seattle Times and the Washington Times.  Earlier this week, items appeared in Greencastle's Banner-Graphic and the Terre Haute Tribune-Star.
