THE TWINS OF AUSCHWITZ: A True Story of the Horrific Experiment on the Mangele Twins of Auschwitz.

Description

Six million Jewish people died in the Holocaust, Those deported to the camp complex were gassed, starved, worked to death and even killed in medical experiments. It was the Nazi campaign to eradicate Europe's Jewish population, and Auschwitz was at the centre of that genocide. "I recall the stacks, the smell of consuming substance, the clinical infusions, the interminable blood taking, and the tests, the dead bodies surrounding us, the craving, and the rodents. Nothing close to human presence existed in that place". Josef Mengele was an assistant to a well-known researcher who studied twins at the Institute for Heredity Biology and Racial Hygiene in Frankfurt - he started working at Auschwitz in May 1943.There he had an unlimited supply of twins to study, and he wouldn't get in trouble if they died. As well as twins, Mengele experimented on dwarfs, giants and Romas. Eva Kor survived the sadistic pseudoscientific medical experiments carried out on twins at the Auschwitz death camp. "Miriam and I were part of a group of children who were alive for one reason only to be used as human guinea pigs," she wrote. "Three times a week we'd be placed naked in a room, for six to eight hours, to be measured and studied. She later dedicated herself decades later to telling of the Holocaust horrors spawned by religious and racial hatred.
