The Twins of Auschwitz

Really liked Eva's personality. This book was inspiring and honest. The world can be really horrible sometimes

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.

The things these Eva and Miriam went through broke my heart. 
No one at the age of ten or hell, no one in general deserves to be experimented on or tortured the way they were. 
I hate that they passed away. 
Especially the way Miriam did. 
May their souls Rest In Peace.

An incredible yet heartbreaking and gut wrenching story told in first perspective to give even more insight on humanity's horror at Auschwitz and the story of those who survived, determined to remain together and be safe in life once more. Although this was a very tough read, learning more about the events at Auschwitz and how Eva, afterwards, used her experience to educate others and look towards a more positive future is so inspiring and wonderful to read about.
