Summary
The Nazis spared their lives because they were twins.
In the summer of 1944, Eva Mozes Kor and her family arrived at Auschwitz.
Within 30 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.

Anger is the seed for war, forgiveness is the seed for peace.
The human spirit is remarkable.

Binge listened. So gripped from the start! A well deserved 5 stars.
This is my third listen re the subject matter. I listened to this in one sitting. It is a very inspiring listen with mixed emotions throughout. The narrator was fantastic and told the tale well. I’m glad I got a happy ending. A very well deserving 5 stars. Wish I could award more.

Honest and inspiring
I was recommended this book by a student. Obviously it resonates with younger audience just as with adults. There is a lot of detail but the narrative is accessible enough. I cannot believe this book is only 4 hours, as it felt like a life time listening to it.
