Transcript

00:00I knew that my father and his sister were in Auschwitz.

00:08I also knew that you don't ask your father about the Holocaust.

00:15Erno Zvi Spiegel was 29 years old when he was deported,

00:19along with 430,000 Hungarian Jews, to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.

00:24Mengelet was going along and asked for Zwillinge.

00:31Zwillinge is German for twins.

00:33I was 11 years old.

00:3411.

00:35Big.

00:38The first question was, when can we see our mother?

00:42He said, I'm sorry, but look at the flames over there.

00:47Sometimes siblings who bore a striking resemblance to each other

00:50were mistakenly identified as twins.

00:54Erno Spiegel changed the boys' birthdates, making them twins,

00:59and effectively saving their lives.

01:01They gave it to the rest of the family.

01:04They were able to do it.

01:08Children were spared from immediate death if they were twins,

01:12alive but destined to become subjects in the macabre experiments

01:15of the camp's chief doctor, Joseph Mengele.

01:18I started trying for a little while and then never again.

01:24Though he was in charge of the twins, Spiegel was also a subject of Mengele's experiments.

01:31Through it all, he remained focused on the well-being of the boys.

01:34He started teaching us a little bit of math here, a little bit of geography.

01:38He was a father figure to us.

01:40I saw the first Russian soldier passing by under the window.

01:46And that's it.

01:47That's liberation.

01:48Spiegel had the idea of assembling the kids and taking them home.

01:54They faced the prospect of a long and dangerous journey back to their homes,

01:58uncertain if those homes even still existed.

02:01We went on trucks, trains, walked.

02:04In that bitter cold, it took us nearly two months.

02:10Not many people can say that they owe their life to some stranger.

02:17It is a story that the hero is my father.

02:21But the questions that we should ask ourselves,

02:25who are we?

02:27And what would we choose to do?

02:29Thank you.
