Dean’s Chat hosts, Drs. Jeffrey Jensen and Johanna Richey, welcome Dr. Alex Kor to the podcast!
Originally from Terre Haute, Indiana, Dr. Alex Kor is the son of two Holocaust survivors (Michael and Eva Mozes Kor).
He has a B.S. in Chemistry from Butler University and a M.S. in Exercise Physiology from Purdue University. He received his D.P.M. (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine) from the Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago.
This episode is sponsored by the American Podiatric Medical Association!
Dr. Kor is a full-time podiatrist for Hendricks Regional Health in Danville , Indiana, and is a Clinical Assistant Professor for Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine.
He is Board-Certified in Foot Surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery, a Fellow and Past President of the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine, and is the Team Podiatrist for Butler University athletics in Indianapolis, IN.
Knowing the importance of being the son of two Holocaust survivors who have both passed away in the last 5 1/2 years, Alex feels an obligation to tell their stories.
Since 1985, he has traveled to Auschwitz more than twenty times with his late mother. He is a member of the CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center Board of Directors and assisted in establishing an exhibit (Eva Kor from Auschwitz to Indiana) to honor his mother in downtown Indianapolis at the Indiana Historical Society.
His new book, co-authored with Graham Honaker, “A Blessing, Not a Burden” which chronicles his parents’ lives as well as how they positively impacted Dr. Kor is now available.
Enjoy this discussion with Dr. Kor, an incredible episode!
