Terre Haute, IN – On Saturday, Sept. 28, CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center will host “An Evening of Light” dinner at the Indianapolis Children’s Museum, 3000 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis.

“An Evening of Light” will recognize individuals for their dedication to sharing Holocaust education in their communities, followed by a discussion on the importance of Holocaust education today, survivor Eva Kor’s impact, and how each of us can make a difference.

This year Elizabeth Smart will be our esteemed guest speaker. Elizabeth Smart is a renowned American child safety activist and commentator for ABC News. Her life took a harrowing turn at age 14 when she was abducted from her Salt Lake City home. Held captive for nine grueling months by a man and his wife, Smart's ordeal ended with a dramatic rescue by police in Sandy, Utah.

Since her rescue, Smart has dedicated her life to advocating for missing persons and challenging the limitations of abstinence-only education. Her courageous story has inspired countless individuals and has been the subject of numerous books and films.
