Ferenc and Otto Klein – twins born on 7 June 1932 – together with their sister and mother. All four were sent to Auschwitz in a transport of Jews from Hungary on 27 June 1944. During the selection, the boys were sent to the camp to be subjected to the experiments of the SS physician, Dr Josef Mengele. They survived to be liberated on 27 January 1945. The next day, in a group of 30 people, mostly twins, they set out for Kraków, which they reached on 29 January. Photograph taken before the deportation.
