A Holocaust survivor describes her experiences as one of the sets of twins forced at Auschwitz to submit to Dr. Josef Mengele's sadistic medical experiments. The writing is clear and straightforward, adding an authentic and relevant first-person voice to the literature on the subject for young adults. Some black-and-white photographs are included. An epilogue and author's note are appended.
