Rene & Renate Guttmann (Czechia, 1937)
Rene & Renate Guttmann (Czechia, 1937) are child survivors of the Holocaust.
NOTES : Rene and Renate were twins from Prague. They were deported to <Theresienstadt> and then to <Auschwitz> where they were selected for medical experiments as <Mengele Twins>. Both survived but were separated. Rene survived a death march and was adopted by a Czech family. Renate remained at Auschwitz and was taken care by a Polish family and then went an orphanage in France. Finally, six years after the end of the war, the twins were reunited in America in 1950. Irene and René have been prominent speakers about their Holocaust experiences. They have recorded several testimonies with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and are the subjects of a documentary titled René and I.
