“Heroism is presented less as a feat of preternatural bravery than a series of choices made by someone who simply refused to give up his humanity.” – Beatrice Loayza, The New York Times. 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, Spiegel used his courage, compassion, and ingenuity to shield the most vulnerable – the sets of twins targeted for brutal medical experimentation. Mengele put Spiegel in charge of the young boys, but Spiegel 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. Following the camp’s liberation, Spiegel took it upon himself to lead the surviving twin boys home, on a dangerous six-week journey across war-torn Europe. Through first-hand testimony and archival material, The Last Twins brings to life the voices of those who survived because of Spiegel’s defiance. It is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit, the weight of resilience and sacrifice, and the power of one person to make a difference, even in humanity’s darkest hour. Following the screening of the film, directors Perri Peltz and Matthew O’Neill will be in conversation with Spiegel’s daughter Dr. Judith Richter. Moderated by journalist Bret Stephens.
