Steven’s current project focuses on Eva Mozes Kor, a woman who not only survived Auschwitz, but also the tortures of Joseph Mengele. Eva’s is a story of hope, of forgiveness, and the power of life.
More About The Project
There are 3 main aspects of the project.
1) First, Steven will be visiting with individuals who survived the Holocaust. His hope is to have them share their story, as Eva did, based off two questions- questions of hope.
2) Record and share those stories with the world.
3) Third, to bring these survivors to the community of the El Paso, Texas so that others may meet with them, sit with them, and hear their stories first hand.
The reason for the GoFundMe is in order to achieve these three objectives he needs help from the community. He can’t make these things happen by himself.
