The Last Twins is a powerful documentary that tells the previously untold story of Erno "Zvi" Spiegel, an unsung hero of the Holocaust who risked his life to save dozens of young twin boys from the horrific experiments of Dr. Josef Mengele at Auschwitz. Narrated by Liev Schreiber, the film uses first-hand testimonies and rare archival footage to illuminate this remarkable act of defiance and compassion in humanity's darkest hour.
Spiegel, himself a twin, was put in charge of the young boys by Mengele. Rather than complying with the Nazi doctor's brutal regime, he used his position to shield, comfort, and secretly protect the children who were targeted for inhumane medical testing. The documentary is a testament to the resilience of the survivors and the extraordinary power of one individual to make a difference against unimaginable evil.
