Moment of Indiana History
The founder of Terre Haute’s CANDLES Holocaust museum was once the subject of medical experimentation by Dr. Josef Mengele, the infamous “Angel of Death.” Eva Kor, recipient of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Spirit of Justice Award and the Sagamore of the Wabash, among others, espouses a philosophy of forgiveness, a controversial position among survivors of the Holocaust.
Most states honor their favorite sons and daughters. In Indiana, the governor confers the odd-sounding "Sagamore of the Wabash" title.
