INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Eric Holcomb, R-Indiana, is honoring late holocaust survivor Eva Kor with a day to teach more people about her story.

Holcomb signed a proclamation Monday, announcing Jan. 27, 2020, to be "Eva Education Day" in Indiana.

That's also the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

She created a museum in Terre Haute and led multiple tours of the camps in Europe.

Kor passed away this past July.
