Description: |
Descent Into Darkness Yom Hashoah Holocaust Commemoration Program at Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County in Glen Cove, Nassau County, Long Island, New York.
The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) presents a Yom Hashoah Holocaust Commemoration program, "Descent Into Darkness" featuring testimony from Twin Survivors of Dr. Josef Mengele, Irene Hizme and Rene Slotkin. This is an extremely rare opportunity to hear direct testimony from twins who miraculously survived horrific "research studies" by Mengele, Auschwitz's infamous "Angel of Death."
Irene and Rene were born in Czechoslovakia. Their father was murdered in Auschwitz-Berkenau in December 1941. The twins and their mother were sent first to Theresienstadt, and in 1943, they were deported to Auschwitz-Berkenau. After four months together the twins were taken by Mengele for "experimentation" and their mother was murdered that night. They were six years old. Irene said "to talk about it is a decent into darkness." Irene and Rene were separated at liberation and reunited in the United States in 1950. Both Irene and Rene live on Long Island. They may be the last living Twin Survivors of Mengele. Seats are limited; RSVP in advance is strongly recommended. |
