- KEYWORDS : <Czechia> <Hidden Children> <Auschwitz> <Mengele Twins>
NOTES : Olga & Vera Grossman were twins. They were born in 1936 in Czechia. For some time they survived in hiding with a Christian family. But then they were arrested and deported to Auschwitz in April 1944. Their knowledge of German saved them. As twins, they were selected for medical experiments by Josef Mengele. Their mother also was spared. They remained in Auschwitz until liberation on January 27, 1945. After the war, the twins and their mother could not return to their estate, because the people who moved into it threatened to kill them. Life was hard and in 1947 the twins were sent to England, while the mother remarried and emigrated to Israel. They would reuite in Irale only six years later.
