Videotape testimony of Zvi S., who was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1915, a twin, and one of four children. He recounts his childhood in Mukacheve; enlisting in the Czech army; attending officer training school in Michalovce; returning home; draft into a Hungarian slave labor battalion; deportation to Auschwitz/Birkenau with his twin sister and mother; identifying himself and sister as twins upon arrival; supervising the twins and dwarfs selected for Josef Mengele's specious medical experiments (he was called Twins Father); saving some from selection for death at risk of his own life; liberation by Soviet troops; taking many of the surviving twins home; traveling to Bucharest, Budapest, then Karlovy Vary; and emigration to Israel. Mr. S. discusses maintaining contact with some of the twins and documents about him in Yad Vashem.
