Marc Berkowitz (M / Czechia, 1932) and Francesca Berkowitz (F / Czechia, 1932) were twins and child survivors of the Holocaust.

NOTES : Marc & Francesca Berkowitz were born in Czechia in 1932. Since 1941 they were subjected to force labor. In March 1944 they arrived in Auschwitz, where they were selected for medical experiments by Josef Mengele. Mengele took a special interest in Marc and often used him as an errand boy, although this did not exempt him from medical experiments. Marc and Francesca survived until the camp was liberated on January 27, 1945.

After the war Marc and Francesca were sent to America as orphans.
