Eva Mozes Kor and her twin sister where 10 years old when 
they arrived at Auschwitz.  They were separated from their 
two older sisters, mom and dad the minute they got to 
Auschwitz because they were twins. Dr. Josef Mengele 
allowed the many twins that he "saved" to 
have "privileges" like keeping their hair and clothes.  
They had to fight for survival and try and get through 
Mengele's torturous experiments performed only on twins. 
Together these two girls try to fight for survival in one 
of the worst death camps of all. 

Opinion: 

I really enjoyed this book.  I have always liked reading about the Holocaust and 
to see it through 10 year olds eyes was very interesting.  
You can really tell how hard it was to survive and how you 
needed someone to rely on. This was my first time reading 
about someone who had been one of Dr. Josef Mengele's 
twins.  It was really interesting to read what he did to 
them and to see just how hard they had to fight to 
survive.
