ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The 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 s. 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.

About the Author

Eva Mozes Kor (1934-2019) fue una sobreviviente estadounidense del Holocausto nacida en Rumania. Junto con su hermana gemela Miriam, Kor fue sometida a sádicos experimentos bajo la dirección de Josef Mengele en el campo de concentración de Auschwitz. Sus padres y dos hermanas mayores murieron en las cámaras de gas de Birkenau. Fundó la organización CANDLES, acrónimo en inglés de Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors (Niños de Auschwitz Sobrevivientes de Experimentos Mortales de Laboratorio Nazi), y localizó a otros ciento veintidós sobrevivientes de los experimentos de Mengele, con el objetivo de educar al público sobre la eugenesia, el Holocausto y el poder del perdón. Después de conocer a Hans Münch (la única persona absuelta de crímenes de guerra en los Juicios de Auschwitz de 1947), Kor recibió atención internacional cuando perdonó públicamente a los nazis por lo que le habían hecho.
