The Last Twins

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—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.

Through firsthand testimony and exclusive archival material, The Last Twins brings to us the voices of those who survived because of Spiegel’s defiance. It is a testament to resilience, sacrifice, and the power of one person to make a difference, even in humanity’s darkest hour.

Following the screening, join us for a Q&A with filmmakers Perri Peltz and Matthew O'Neill as well as Dr. Judith Richter, daughter of Erno "Zvi" Spiegel.

A reception will follow the event.

This event is offered free of charge. RSVP required.
