Here are tributes to 10 notable people who died in 2019 …
Some were theologians, others were writers or other public figures who have shaped our work. They all will be missed!
Eva Kor
(Auschwitz Survivor)
Eva Mozes Kor (January 31, 1934 – July 4, 2019) was a Romanian-born survivor of the Holocaust. Along with her twin sister Miriam, Kor was subjected to human experimentation under the direction of Josef Mengele at the Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland during World War II. She lost both of her parents and two older sisters to the Holocaust; only she and Miriam survived. Kor founded the organization CANDLES (an acronym for “Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors”) in 1984 and through this program located 122 other survivors of Mengele. Kor received international attention when she publicly forgave the Nazis for what had been done to her. This story was later explored in the 2006 documentary Forgiving Dr. Mengele.

I was surprised by the absence of Larry Hurtado on this list.
YES! This was indeed a significant oversight on our part. I remember seeing obituaries when Hurtado died, but somehow my memory failed me when I was compiling this list.
If I get a chance over the next couple of days, I might add him to the list. He definitely belongs here!
