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.
