The heart-breaking and inspiring memoir of a 10-year-old Auschwitz twin

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.

About the Author

Eva Mozes Kor was a resident of Terre Haute, Indiana. Following her survival of Auschwitz, she became a recognised speaker, both nationally and internationally, on topics related to the Holocaust and social justice. Eva created the CANDLES organisation in 1985 to locate other Mengele twins and found 122 twins across the world. Ten years later, she opened the CANDLES Holocaust Museum to educate the public about the historic event she survived. A community leader, champion of human rights, and tireless educator, Eva has been covered in numerous media outlets and is the subject of a documentary, Forgiving Dr. Mengele. She passed away in 2019.

5.0 out of 5 stars An important part of History that needs to be heard
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024
Verified Purchase
Though this part of history is highly debated or denied, the individuals' stories who suffered and survived are important to hear and understand. These survivors are dwindling in numbers ever year and stories that record and recount the events that happen are equally important as when the world first became globally aware of the atrocities that happened on a industrial level. Her story is one of survival and forgiveness that shows just how complex a human life can be and how one can rise up and become a better person because of your experiences.

While this was written for young adults it's a quick read for adults, too, to introduce a painful chapter in human history. There's just enough detail that lets you know the gist of the issue without the 'gory' details which often discourage people.
Historical value: A group of people, children, women, men and their families, we're singled out for extermination/genocide.
Life application: how one ten year old child, determined to survive a living hell, managed to save herself and her sister. Later, her determination motivated her to resist being emotionally handicapped for life by coming to understand how to deal with those things in life that can't be changed.
What living hells have we survived, that we can follow Eva's lead to use that hell for good in helping others, so that evil doesn't win?
I'll buy copies for the young people in my life and look forward to discussing it with them. Great book!

This book is a very fast read. I finished it in just a few hours. It wasn’t quite what I expecting, though. I thought it would have more detail about Auschwitz and Mengele twins. There is a lot about Eva’s life before and after the war. It’s still an interesting and deeply horrifying store, I just expected more detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars More horrors from the Holocaust
Reviewed in Canada on May 31, 2023

I am starting a Holocaust library so I can be more knowledgeable about this horrific period in 20th century History. This book is a first hand account from 1 set of twins who survived Dr. Mengele's unbelievable and sadistic medical experiments. " If we do not learn from History, we are doomed to repeat it." It was a difficult book to read because I can't believe anyone could be so cruel and inhumane.

5.0 out of 5 stars Endurance Against Evil: The Resilient Spirit in 'The Twins of Auschwitz'
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2024
Verified Purchase
Eva Mozes Kor's "The Twins of Auschwitz" is a poignant recounting of harrowing endurance and unimaginable resilience. Together with her twin, Miriam, Eva was subjected to the horrors of Dr. Josef Mengele's experiments at Auschwitz. Despite the dark depths of human cruelty they faced, Eva’s narrative is imbued with an inspirational tone that celebrates the power of the human spirit to overcome.

As a Jewish reader, I find this book evokes complex emotions. There's a profound sadness in acknowledging such brutality against humanity, coupled with a sense of pride in the resilience and courage of survivors like Eva and Miriam, who lived to tell their stories. This duality is a potent reminder of the importance of memory and the responsibility to bear witness.

Comparatively, having read works like "The Tattooist of Auschwitz," "The Three Sisters," and "Cilka's Journey," I find that "The Twins of Auschwitz" holds its own as a testament to survival against all odds. Each of these narratives contributes uniquely to the body of Holocaust literature, yet Eva’s story is particularly impactful due to her subsequent journey towards forgiveness and peace.

I devoured this book in a single day, drawn in by its compelling narrative and simple yet powerful prose. The included epilogue about Eva's life post-Auschwitz, her decision to forgive her tormentors, and her dedication to educating others about the Holocaust adds layers to her account, transforming it from a mere survival story to one of extraordinary moral and spiritual weight.

I universally recommend "The Twins of Auschwitz" to readers of all backgrounds and beliefs. It’s a vital read, earning 5 out of 5 stars for its raw honesty and profound lessons in humanity, forgiveness, and resilience.

Non penso si possano usare grandi parole per descrivere libri di questo genere.
E' un libro su uno dei periodi più neri dell'umanità, la storia di Eva e di sua sorella gemella, sopravvissute all'orrore dell'olocausto.
Lo consiglio a tutti, per avere un'idea del dolore e delle speranze di queste persone.
