Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Only 160 of 3000 twins subjected to genetic experimentation by Mengele survived until 1945. The reprint of this important addition to Holocaust literature is scheduled to coincide with Holocaust Remembrance Day, April 30. Photos.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From School Library Journal
YA-- A horrifying yet spellbinding account. Although Mengele was a mediocre doctor, he was encouraged in his pursuit of "genetic research" to create a "master Aryan race" with the concentration camp at Auschwitz providing an ample supply of specimens for his unscientific, poorly documented experiments. Twins were his fixation, and this book interviews some of the estimated 100 survivors from an initial sample of 3000 young people. The fascination of this book is that it follows the lives of both Mengele and the twins in their readjustment to life away from the camps. This gripping tale is extremely readable and well documented, offering another facet to the human tragedy of the Holocaust.
