Eva: A–7063
The Indiana State University Contemporary Music Festival, in conjunction with the CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center, presents Eva: A–7063, a documentary by Ted Green and Mika Brown produced in partnership with WFYI, Indianapolis’ PBS affiliate. As part of its 53rd annual festival, the Contemporary Music Festival will celebrate music in times of trial with a special screening of Eva: A–7063 followed by a question and answer period with filmmaker Ted Green and documentary composer Tyron Cooper.
The CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center was founded by Eva Mozes Kor and opened in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1995. The museum details Eva’s journey from before the war through the rise of Nazism, to her experiences as a “Mengele Twin” at Auschwitz, and to her ultimate forgiveness.
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. Eva is a triumph of hope, and this film is her legacy piece. “Eva is more than just a story,” says actor Elliot Gould. “She’s a revelation of what’s possible in the human condition.” Narrated by Hollywood icon Ed Asner, “Eva: A–7063” tells the full, astonishing story of this historic figure for the first time, tracking her from Auschwitz to Israel to the United States—even into the U.S. Capitol for her jaw-dropping arrest—and ultimately to her courageous return to the Nazi death camp.
