Remembering the Mengele Twins

As part of the 70th anniversary of the liberation, CANDLES is commemorating the 3,000 twins who were victims of Dr. Josef Mengele's deadly genetic experiments at Auschwitz. Each week, beginning January 24th and continuing weekly through the year, CANDLES is highlighting the stories of a set of Mengele Twins. For some, there is a wealth of information available about them before and after the Holocaust; for others there are only their names. We seek to remember their courage and honor their lives. 

If you have knowledge about a Mengele twin that you'd like to contribute to our project, we encourage you to contact the museum at dorothy@candlesholocaustmuseum.org.

Night Will Fall

In 1945, Alfred Hitchcock began to direct a harrowing documentary for the British military about the atrocities discovered in Nazi concentration camps after World War II, but the project was suppressed by the British government. Night Will Fall tells the history of the lost film and features some of Hitchcock's original footage as well as interviews with the men who shot it.
