The docent was very knowledgeable, as well as the rest of the staff. Eva Kor was truly a powerful woman. I am a teacher from Evansville, and the insight provided has encouraged me to bring kids to this museum.

Only take kids 11+. They kept mentioning Holocaust education does not start until age 11.
I felt ashamed for bringing my 9 & 6 year old.

We were impressed with this small, dignified museum. It was clean, well-organized, with interesting exhibits. It was easy to find, with convenient parking. The staff was engaging, passionate and knowledgeable. As soon as we entered, we were greeted and joined a group, who were being given an introduction to the museum and the first display. We spoke with Trevor who assisted us with the interactive display of Eva, which was amazing. He had traveled with Eva and spent much time in conversation with her. His enthusiasm was contagious. This museum had changed his life. I hope it will educate all who enter it's doors.

This is a Gem that is history preserved! Young and old should visit and learn the stories that Eva Kor wanted to share. She worked hard to gather the items and knowledge so that all could know what occurred. You will be able to hear the story of a Holocaust survivor. And be able to ask questions too! Our docent was Nancy. She greatly enhanced our visit. Check it out for yourself. I've recommended it to everyone! I pray my children and grandchildren get to visit someday. Thank you for preserving this information.

The museum was fantastic! Unexpected ..so professional and staff extremely knowledgeable. I learned so much...and staff very composed with such a hard topic. Impressed that these few people were able to accomplish so much.
Thank you all for this museum and pushing forward forgiveness. Happy new year!

A must visit, so informative and well laid out. The films, pictures, displays and interactive questions with Eva Kor are powerful. Incredible collection of pictures and explanations are so well done. Small but able to keep my interest for 2 hours. The staff clearly answered my many questions and really knows the stuff. It felt like having a private guide, well worth it. I agree this museum is a gem.

We enjoyed visiting the museum! Perhaps the highlight was watching the holographic image of Eva, answering questions posed by the audience. It was a moving experience.

This was my second visit. Such a wonderful display of reading material about a survivor's story. Very somber to read about the accounts the Jews and others endured. Very educational! The talking hologram of Eva's interviews that allowed one to ask a question for her to answer was very innovative. The new computer kiosk that allowed you to hear interviews with other Mengela twins and their personal experiences was haunting! I hope all students in the area get the opportunity to visit this museum on a field trip!

C.A.N.D.L.E.S.---CHILDREN OF AUSCHWITZ NAZI DEADLY LAB EXPERIMENTS SURVIVORS. This is a small and powerful museum of Eva Kor and her sister and what they experienced as part of Dr Mengeles experiments on twins. There is alot of information here to read and then you can do tons of research online after your visit. The gal working/volunteering there gave us valuable information as we started through the little museum to help bring it all together for us. Be sure to visit the interactive hologram on the other side of the museum also. Admission charge is $5.00. Well worth a stop if you are any where close by.

Our trips to Candles have always been personalized by Eva Kor who, along with her twin sister, were experimented upon by Dr. Mengele. Unfortunately, she passed away recently so her talks are now a wonderful memory.

Two websites for the same place have different information on Saturday hours 1 has closed the other has open 1-4 which is correct? Don't want to drive 3 hours to find it closed.

Call them to verify (812.234.7881 or visit their website candlesholocaustmuseum. org) but I was there on a Saturday, so I’d say open.
