My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

Follow Up on Holocaust Survivor Eva Kor
Mrs. Kor travels around the country and world promoting peace. She also answers dozens of e-mails daily from concentration camp survivors.
Through her CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Indiana, she hopes to encourage everyone who's willing to listen to forgive and heal for peace. Her website is at www.candlesholocaustmuseum.org.
Right now, her organization is taking deposits for a 2014 trip to Auschwitz Concentration Camp which will be led by her. In addition, there will be a tour of her home village in Transylvania, Romania. When she is not out of town, she speaks Wednesdays and Saturdays at the museum at 1 PM.
Taking a trip to Aushwitz with a survivor like Mrs. Kor would be something.
Like I Said, Quite the Woman. Quite the Survivor. --GreGen
