The son of two Holocaust survivors\, including the Mengel twin Eva Kor\, Alex will discuss his book A Blessing\, Not a Burden. Co-author Graham Honaker and Troy Fears of CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center join the discussion. \nEva Kor\, Alex Kor’s mother\, was known for her controversial choice to forgive the Nazis. She did not forgive them on behalf of anyone but herself\, and her choice to forgive was a way of giving herself peace and freedom from anger. During this event\, Alex Kor will explore what it was like being raised by two Holocaust survivors who also experienced immigration to the United States\, continued antisemitism\, and post-traumatic stress. Through it all\, Alex has retained a deep sense of gratitude for his upbringing and life’s journey. \nQuestions?: Contact 317-715-9240 or carnett@jccindy.org. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between JCC Indianapolis\, CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center\, and Hooverwood Living. \nRegistration: Registration is encouraged.

This exhibit highlights seasoned bodies to reclaim and uplift the\nnarratives and journeys of our elders. Exhibit opens at 6PM with the panel discussion beginning at 7PM. \nWe only get one body and the journey that body takes is filled with amazing life lessons. Yet\, an obsession of appearing young permeates society. This photo exhibition— built around questions such as\, “What advice would you give your younger self about the aging journey?”— aims to highlight seasoned bodies (55+) and encourage deep gratitude for the bodies we have. Too often we run away from the idea of getting older. We complain about changes with skin\, firmness\, attractiveness\, and hope to distract the world from our “imperfections.”  However\, if blessed\, we all will age\, shift\, and change. This opportunity will remind attendees that aging is a gift\, one that we are not all fortunate to receive. Join us in a spirit of for the bodies that come before us and the bodies we will one day leave behind. \nExhibit Dates: Can’t make it out on Nov. 8?\nCheck out the exhibit from Nov. 4 – 10.\nMonday – Friday\, 10AM – 4PM\nSaturday\, 10AM – 2PM\n*Slightly different times appear in the festival event guide.
