Six million Jewish people died in the Holocaust, Those deported to the camp complex were gassed, starved, worked to death and even killed in medical experiments. It was the Nazi campaign to eradicate Europe's Jewish population, and Auschwitz was at the centre of that genocide.

I recall the stacks, the smell of consuming substance, the clinical infusions, the interminable blood taking, and the tests, the dead bodies surrounding us, the craving, and the rodents. Nothing close to human presence existed in that place.

Josef Mengele was an assistant to a well-known researcher who studied twins at the Institute for Heredity Biology and Racial Hygiene in Frankfurt - he started working at Auschwitz in May 1943.There he had an unlimited supply of twins to study, and he wouldn't get in trouble if they died. As well as twins, Mengele experimented on dwarfs, giants and Romas.

Eva Kor survived the sadistic pseudoscientific medical experiments carried out on twins at the Auschwitz death camp.

Miriam and I were part of a group of children who were alive for one reason only to be used as human guinea pigs, she wrote. Three times a week wed be placed naked in a room, for six to eight hours, to be measured and studied.

She later dedicated herself decades later to telling of the Holocaust horrors spawned by religious and racial hatred.

It was late-winter in 1944. I don't have the foggiest idea about the specific date. It was likely the start of April. We had gone from our little town in Portz in Transylvania, not knowing where we were going or what destiny lay ahead. Our cows vehicle train arrived at an abrupt stop. I could hear German voices hollering outside.

Inside I could smell the odor of squeezed bodies. We were stuffed super tight. I could see a little fix of dark sky through the spiked wires. My dad, Alexander Mozes, accumulated the family around him. My mom was 38 years of age, my most elder sister Edit was 14, my middle sister Aliz was 12 and we, the twins, Miriam and Eva, were 9. We listened unobtrusively as my dad talked: "guarantee me that if any of you endure this horrible war, you will go to your uncle Aaron Mozes in Palestine, where Jews can live in harmony and opportunity." I didn't generally comprehend what my dad implied by those words, yet I detected that the circumstance was grave since he had never addressed us that path previously. We cried, and with tears in our eyes guaranteed him that we would do as he said. My dad was an extremely strict man; he was 44 years of age at the time we were extradited.

His confidence in God was the controlling power in his life, and with all that had transpired, he had turned even closer to God. My contemplations were hindered by the sound of the dairy cattle vehicle entryway as it swung open. "Schnell, schnell." The SS officers were requesting everyone out.

As before long as we ventured out onto the concrete stage, my mom snatched my twin sister and me by the hand, trusting by one way or another to ensure our safety. Everything was moving extremely quick. I out of nowhere understood that my dad and my two more elder sisters, Edit and Aliz, were gone. I never saw them again.

I think the entire thing took 10 minutes; they were lost in the group as Miriam and I gripped my mom's hand. The SS fighters strolled by, yelling stronger. Abruptly, they halted my mom and took a gander at my twin sister and me, since we were dressed the same and looked particularly indistinguishable. "Are they twins?" one officer asked my mom. My helpless mother was baffled.

What was a decent answer and what was awful? She inquired as to whether being a twin was great. The watchman gestured his head. My mom said reluctantly, "indeed, they are." Without any further clarification, the Officer got Miriam and me; also, another SS officer got my mom and pulled her in the inverse bearing. We shouted and argued as we were isolated.

I recollect thinking back and seeing my mom's arm extended in despair as she was being pulled away. I never at any point bid farewell to her. I didn't realize that was the last time we would see our mom.

Miriam and I joined a gathering of about10 or 12 arrangements of twins.

We sat tight for a long time at the edge of the rail road. They were by all accounts hanging tight for everyone to be detrained and all the twins to be accumulated. I glanced around the camp.

Everything seemed dull, dark, and inert. Close to the train, as the casualties were being isolated into two unmistakable gatherings, there stood one SS official wearing a conveniently squeezed uniform. He glanced sharp in his excellent shining boots. It appeared to me that he was in control.

The official doing the experiments was Dr. Joseph Mengele. Our gathering was directed to an immense structure close to a tall spiked metal perimeter. I had never observed a fence this way. The structure resembled a major exercise center that was separated in two; one half was involved by seats and the other half by many shower heads. We were requested to strip, and our garments were removed.

I felt numb, deadened in body and psyche. It appeared to be a bad dream that would be over when I opened my eyes. All the twins were given short hair styles. Miriam and I had shown up at the camp with long plaits and strips in our hair.

The hairdresser disclosed to us that the twins were favored; in this manner, we could have short hair as opposed to having our heads shaved. Out garments were come back with a major red cross painted on the back. This recognized twins as a feature of clinical trials.

We were arranged for enlistment and inking. Four individuals, two SS fighters and two ladies detainees, controlled me while they warmed a pen-like device over an open fire, dunked it in ink, and constrained it into my left arm, consuming into my tissue, spot by speck, and the number A-7603. Promptly at night we were taken to a sleeping shelter in camp A, the ladies' camp. I could see gatherings of detainees coming back from work. They resembled strolling skeletons. One helpless casualty misbehaved, attempting to converse with us. She stated, "Youngsters, kids, where did you originate from?" she was executed on the spot. The SS monitors were all over the place. They walked us to each movement: to the labs, to the showers, to Auschwitz, and to the next tests. Our cooperation with different detainees was very restricted, as the twin examinations were highly confidential.

In the military quarters we met numerous other twin kids. After our night supper of a two-inch slide of dark bread and a tanish fluid, two Hungarian twins informed us about the camp. They clarified that the camp was called Birkenau. Auschwitz, they stated, had one gas chamber and one crematorium, while Birkenau had four gas chambers and four crematoriums.

"We don't comprehend these words gas chambers, crematorium," Miriam and I interfered. They took us to the indirect access, where we looked toward the northern sky, to see a goliath smoking fireplace overshadowing the camps.

I could see sparkling flares ascending high over the structure. I asked, "what are they consuming so late around evening time?" "The Germans are consuming individuals in the stoves. They need to murder all the Jews, and after each transport, the smoke stack consumes day and night." "Consuming individuals? That is insane. For what reason would they need to consume individuals?" I inquired. "Did you see the two gatherings of individuals on the railroad stage at the beginning of today?" they inquired. "They are most likely consuming them right now. Just the individuals who can work remain alive, and just as long as they are sufficiently able to work. The powerless, the wiped out, the old, and the kids all end up in the gas chambers and in the blazes." "However," I stated, "we are youngsters as well, what's more, we are alive.
