Discover the story of Erno “Zvi” Spiegel, an unsung hero of the Holocaust who risked everything to protect some of the most vulnerable in Auschwitz — dozens of young boys, many of them twins, targeted by Dr. Josef Mengele for brutal pseudo medical experimentation. Through courage, compassion, and ingenuity, Spiegel shielded these young children from death and unimaginable harm. When liberation came, he didn’t stop — he led the boys across war-torn Europe on a harrowing journey towards their homes.
Through first-hand testimony and exclusive archival material, THE LAST TWINS brings to life the voices of the boys who survived because of Spiegel’s defiance. His acts of humanity didn’t just save lives — they created a legacy. Today, the children he protected have families of their own, with descendants who are researchers, advocates, lawyers, and musicians, living all over the world.
