Holocaust Survivor Helps Pass Legislation

Eva Kor addressed Indiana lawmakers on a bill that would make Holocaust education mandatory in Indiana as part of high school U.S. history.

She claims to have lost family members in the Holocaust, and she and her twin sister, Miriam, were victims of Dr. Josef Mengele’s human experiments while they were imprisoned at Auschwitz.
 

Holocaust Bill Goes To House

The bill was written by Rep. Clyde Kersey, D-Terre Haute.   The committee unanimously passed the bill, which now goes to the full House for a vote.

Jews Fight Their Way Out Of Oven

Before, the bill requires the holocaust be taught under U.S. history, which is a required high school course.

Indiana already includes in state education standards the teaching about the Nazis’ extermination of 6 million Jews in Europe during World War II.
