The Twins of Auschwitz
The Inspiring True Story of a Young Girl Surviving Mengele's Hell
Eva Mozes Kor , Lisa Rojany Buccieri New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
At ten years old in 1944 Eva Mozes Kor and her twin sister Miriam were sent to Josef Mengele while the rest of their family were taken to the gas chambers. In a narrative made all the more resonant by its restraint, Eva recalls how they were taken from their home and transported to Auschwitz, the horror of the conditions they faced, and the struggle to survive a disease injected into her before liberation finally came.

Full publisher description
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
The Nazis spared their lives because they were twins.
In the summer of 1944, Eva Mozes Kor and her family arrived at Auschwitz.
Within thirty minutes, they were separated. Her parents and two older sisters were taken to the gas chambers, while Eva and her twin, Miriam, were herded into the care of the man who became known as the Angel of Death: Dr. Josef Mengele. They were 10 years old.
While twins at Auschwitz were granted the 'privileges' of keeping their own clothes and hair, they were also subjected to Mengele's sadistic medical experiments. They were forced to fight daily for their own survival and many died as a result of the experiments, or from the disease and hunger rife in the concentration camp.
In a narrative told simply, with emotion and astonishing restraint, The Twins of Auschwitz shares the inspirational story of a child's endurance and survival in the face of truly extraordinary evil.
Also included is an epilogue on Eva's incredible recovery and her remarkable decision to publicly forgive the Nazis. Through her museum and her lectures, she dedicated her life to giving testimony on the Holocaust, providing a message of hope for people who have suffered, and worked toward goals of forgiveness, peace, and the elimination of hatred and prejudice in the world.
Sunday Times bestseller in August 2020.
