Eva and Miriam Mozes
Eva remembers how her and her family arrived at Auschwitz. " When the doors to our cattle car opened, I heard SS soilders yelling,"Schnell! Schnell!." ,and ordering everybody out. My mother grabbed Miriam and me by the hand. She was always trying to protect us because we were the youngest. Everything was moving very fast, and as i looked around, I noticed my father and two older sisters were gone. As I clutched my mother's hand, an SS man hurried by shouting "Twins! Twins!" He stoped to look at us, Miriam and I looked very much alike. "Are they twins?" he asked my mother. "Is that good?" she replied. He nodded yes. "they are twins", she said." (Eva Mozes) "Once the SS guard knew we were twins, Miriam and I were taken away from our mother, with out any warning or explanation. Our screams fell on deaf ears. I remember looking back and seeing my mother's arms stretched out in despair as we were led away by a soldier. That was the last time I saw her..."(Eva Mozes)
Miriam and Eva had to go through several surgeries and expiriments that were horrible. The doctor that was responsible for these experiments on the twins was doctor Mengele. " I was given five injections. That evening I developed an extremely high fever. I was trembling. My arms and legs were swollen, huge size. Mengele and Dr. Konig and three other doctors came in the next morning. they looked at my fever chart, and Dr. Mengele said laughingly, "too bad, she is so young. she has only two weeks to live...."(Eva Mozes)
Eva still remembers how Mengele tryed to make siamese twins out of a set of gypsy twins, they were sewn back to back. they died a few days later due to gangrene. Its a miriacle that both Eva and Miriam survived, because only a few single twins survived intil camp was liberated. In the film "taken by the Soviets" Eva and Miriam were the first two twins in it. The twins never had to wear the stripped clothes because they got special treatment. they could keep their clothes and hair, they also got extra rations of food.
