In commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, join us for Eva: A-7063, a film about Holocaust survivor Eva Kor and a 360-degree VR tour of her experience. Grades 4 and up.
As a 10-year-old “Mengele Twin,” Eva Kor suffered some of the worst of the Holocaust. At 50, she launched the biggest manhunt in history. In her 80s, she circled the globe to promote the lesson her journey taught: healing through forgiveness. Join us for a screening of the award-winning PBS documentary Eva: A-7063 by Ted Green and Mika Brown in partnership with WFYI, which beautifully tells her amazing story. Narrated by Hollywood icon Ed Asner. Content is appropriate for fourth grade and up.
After the documentary, stay for a special VR experience. The Eva Virtual Reality Tour provides viewers a 360-degree experience at four locations in Auschwitz that were central to Eva’s story: the selection platform, the barracks, the lab where Mengele worked, and the spot outside the crematoria where she announced her forgiveness. At each, Eva herself describes the significance, along with accompanying videos that add historical context and personal perspective. Staff from WFYI will be on hand to facilitate the experience and answer questions.
