The Last Twins
Monday, June 15, 2026, 9pm 

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, Erno used his courage, compassion and ingenuity to shield the most vulnerable--the sets of twins targeted for brutal medical experimentation. Mengele put Erno in charge of the young boys, but Erno 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.
