Terre Haute's Holocaust Museum: Survival and Arson

Terre Haute, Indiana. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm not sure what's going on. The fire was in the middle of the building. It took us about 35 to 40 minutes to bring the fire under control. On the north side of the building, the door had been knocked out prior to our arrival. At this time, the fire is under investigation. This museum was the life work of Eva Kaur, former victim of Auschwitz concentration camp, and of the so-called angel of death, Dr. Joseph Mengele. TIMELINE 2001: a couple of years prior to the firebombing here at the museum. 2003: they didn't have any video surveillance like we have in the world today, but even here at the museum. WHY THIS MATTERS The story of Terre Haute is a reminder that the events that shaped America didn't always happen in the biggest cities. What unfolded here left marks on the community that are still visible today. The full story is more complicated, and more human, than the version most people know.
