when i was in elementary school when i lived in Indiana, our librarian's neighbor was a survivor of Mengele and she'd asked her to come in and speak to us.

she'd passed out photos of the scars on her and her sister that i remember so vividly i could draw you a fucking picture of it AND the arrangement of the desks in that room, and i have a terrible memory!!!

anyways i got reminded of this while scrolling through my rss feeds, and i felt really horrible that i remebered her scars but not her name or even a clear image of her face so i looked up my old school and recognized her immediately

Her name is Eva Mosez Kor and she was apparently a local celebrity (i was very young so this is news)?

Here's here Wikipedia page i have more to write but it's 2am and i am not articulate:

#not a conversation starter just amazed at the knowledge #why tf did she move to indiana though #i mean im glad she did i would probably not have a holocaust education without her work #the fact that she established a museum BY HERSELF as a woman in the 90s. in INDIANA #anyways she was a very cool woman may her memory be a blessing #i lived in tippecanoe not TH at that time so thats probably why the only 2 other facts i know is 1)librarians friend and 2)liked gardening #jumblr
