Harvard: The Last Twins (+ Discussion)

Harvard: The Last Twins (+ Discussion)

“The Last Twins” is the never-before-told story of an unsung hero of the Holocaust, Erno “Zvi” Spiegel, who risked everything to save dozens of young twins from almost certain death at Auschwitz. Under the shadow of Dr. Josef Mengele’s horrific experiments, Erno used his courage, compassion, and ingenuity to shield the most vulnerable—the sets of twins targeted for brutal medical experimentation. Mengele put Erno in charge of the young boys, but Erno used his position to protect and comfort the children, all of whom had been torn from their families and subjected to inhumane tests under the constant threat of extermination.Through first-hand testimony and exclusive archival material, “The Last Twins” brings to life the voices of those who survived because of Erno’s defiance. It is a testament to resilience, sacrifice, and the power of one person to make a difference.The documentary is directed and produced by Emmy Award-winning directors Perri Peltz and Matthew O’Neill and is narrated by Tony Award-winning actor Liev Schreiber.Film participant Dr. Judith Richter will be in conversation with Israeli journalist Romy Neumark.More details at: https://websites.harvard.edu/cjs/news-events/events/This event is free and open to the public.The Center for Jewish Studies is located in the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East (formerly the Semitic Museum) at 6 Divinity Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts, just steps away from Harvard Yard.
