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.

Second World War World War II Holocaust Edith Eger Auschwitz Angel of Death memoir

Product description

Review

Eva Mozes Kor has written a very moving and vivid account of an extraordinary and horrific experience. It is an important document showing the strength of the human spirit and the capacity to forgive. She should be commended for having the courage to write about her traumatic childhood, leading to the forgiveness that freed her from hatred and brought her peace. May it inspire others to emulate her. -- Archbishop Desmond Tutu

This remarkable story is an important entry point in the teaching of Holocaust History and the many issues which emerge from it, not least of all the triumph of the human spirit. -- Richard Freedman, National Director, South African Holocaust Foundation

Book Description

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

The Twins of Auschwitz

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2020

Verified Purchase

I have read quite a few books recently based on true stories of the atrocities of the Holocaust, from the Librarian to the Tattooist, and whilst they are both incredibly moving accounts and stories there was something more pure and innocent about The Twins and it is written exactly how I would imagine a 10 year old terrified little girl and her twin sister would feel.

Eva and Miriam are 10 year old identical twins from a jewish family in Romania when the Nazi’s took them to Auschwitz. Separated from their parents and older siblings, the twins are sent to Dr Mengele to be subjected to several horrific and unimaginable medical experiments.

Eva’s young voice whilst narrating her story has such strength that it’s incredulous to the reader where she gets her courage and determination from. Her desire to live and survive is so inspiring and when you finish the book and then read the epilogue following Eva’s journey you soon realise that Eva was an incredibly selfless, strong and brave human being and I hope that the younger generation listen and follow her wise words.

Harrowing!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2021

I was in the mood to be humbled and given a reality check. With everything that is currently going on in the world, I think sometimes it is essential to remember the actual atrocities civilisation has lived through before to make the current lockdowns and restrictions pale in comparison. Don’t get me wrong, I know for a lot of people, the present circumstances have had devastating effects, but for the majority of us, it has been a chance to catch up on Netflix, spend time with the cats and recharge.
When you read stories like Eva’s, however, it really puts our restrictions into perspective. We still have our freedom and choices. We still have chocolate!! Most importantly, we still have our lives as the government has done everything to ensure that we do. Many people may think what they have been doing is wrong, but when we look at the Holocaust, that was wrong!
Eva’s story, like all that come out of Auschwitz, is truly harrowing. That she came out as strong as she did is a miracle. As many reviews have said, the book is quite simply written. It doesn’t embellish a lot, and it doesn’t belabour events or feelings and emotions. The book doesn’t drag on; we are swept through the horrific experiences at great speed as if the writer herself couldn’t linger for too long. I longed for a little more dialogue between Eva and her twin Miriam even if it were just to give one another comfort. Does the lack of this in the book mean that it didn’t happen? In other Auschwitz books I have read, friendships of sorts have been made between people in the same dorms. However, this seemed to be missing in the twins’ room. It was such a shame to read that 10-year olds had to isolate themselves in such a mental state to survive and not be able to rely on others to help them get through the ordeal.
I read the book from cover to cover, wanting to know every little detail the author could offer on Eva Mozes Kor as she really was a fascinating woman and sounded like a force of nature. I feel privileged to have been able to read her story!

Lacked detail - suitable for teens

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2021

Verified Purchase

The story itself was interesting but it lacked any real detail. For example, one sentence "I was ill for a month following the injection" without any description of the actual illness itself. No descriptions of any incidents and almost combed over the real horror of the situation. Suitable for older children or young teens but there are many far more detailed accounts on the market for adults.

Very moving story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this book as a little treat to myself. I enjoy reading and I have been wanting to read this book for a while now as I have heard good reviews especially as it is based from a true story of two twins who survived Auschwitz. I would totally recommend purchasing and reading this book as it is very moving and is written well. It has allowed me to look at what I have today and be thankful.

I nearly didn't read this book, as a few of the reviews hadn't been very good. I can honesty say it's one of the best books I've read. Although gut wrenching in parts, it didn't go over the top with details.
If only more of us could be as forgiving as Eva and have such a wonderful insight to things, maybe we'd all have a better world to live in. Everyone should read this book

A compelling read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 June 2022

Verified Purchase

This book was an incredible read. I haven't once read a book in one sitting but I could not put this down. The writing is so compelling and characterful and Eva has the strongest character of anyone I've ever heard of, even at 10 years old. Her's and Miriam's story is a necessary read to preserve the memories of the atrocities of Auschwitz. May nothing like it ever happen again.

very moving account of a young girl’s pain and survival

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2022

Verified Purchase

Most of us have heard about Mengele’s experiments on twins in
Auschwich but to read a survivor’s report is totally different. You get the feel of the true horror these children were subjected to. My friend’s parents were both holocaust survivors and I recognise many of the descriptions from speaking to them and reading Ernest’s book - “just one more dance” by Ernest Levy
