Children of the Flames

Dr. Josef Mengele and the Untold Story of the Twins of Auschwitz

By: Lucette Matalon Lagnado,Sheila Cohn Dekel

During World War II, Nazi doctor Josef Mengele subjected some 3,000 twins to medical experiments of unspeakable horror; only 160 survived. In this remarkable narrative, the life of Auschwitz's Angel of Death is told in counterpoint to the lives of the survivors, who until now have kept silent about their heinous death-camp ordeals.

Children of the Flames

Dr. Josef Mengele and the Untold Story of the Twins of Auschwitz

By: Lucette Matalon Lagnado,Sheila Cohn Dekel

In this remarkable, evocative narrative, the life of Auschwitz's Angel of Death is told in counterpoint to the lives of the surviving twins, who are themselves now inching into middle or old age. In stories that abound with ambiguity, anger, and redemptive hope, we encounter them first as children beginning their descent into Auschwitz by witnessing their entire families being led away to be killed. Later, we see the twins grateful for the soup and bread Mengele procured for them and reassured by his moments of seemingly genuine affection, yet terrified, always, by what he forced them to endure.
