The Last Twins is the never-before-told story of an unsung hero of the Holocaust, Erno "Zvi" Spiegel, who risked everything to save dozens of young twins from almost certain death at Auschwitz. Under the shadow of Dr. Josef Mengele's horrific experiments, Spiegel used his courage, compassion, and ingenuity to shield the most vulnerable--the sets of twins targeted for brutal medical experimentation. Mengele put Spiegel in charge of the young boys, but Spiegel used his position to protect and comfort the children, all of whom had been torn from their families and subjected to inhumane tests under the constant threat of extermination. Through first-hand testimony and exclusive archival material, The Last Twins brings to life the voices of those who survived because of Spiegel's defiance. It is a testament to resilience, sacrifice, and the power of one person to make a difference, even in humanity's darkest hour.

Nell Minow RogerEbert.com The documentary features some archival footage, but its power lies in the vivid, heartfelt interviews with the surviving twins and Richter and her husband. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 7, 2025 Full Review Beatrice Loayza New York Times Here, heroism is presented less as a feat of preternatural bravery than a series of choices made by someone who simply refused to give up his humanity. Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest An important addition to evidence of Jewish resistance and rescue during the Holocaust. Tightly edits together stories of the surviving twins chronologically through very specific interviews how Erno ‘Zvi’ Spiegel protected their lives from Auschwitz on. Rated: 9/10 Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A profoundly moving and engrossing documentary. Jun 2, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
