Search - Children of the Flames: Dr. Josef Mengele and the Untold Story of the Twins of Auschwitz

I am a avid reader of anything to do with holocaust. This was one of the most chilling books I have read concerning that time. In fact, I almost didn't post it because I couldn't decide if I really wanted to get rid of it. It's that factual and mind-bending. Several pages of pictures too.

Written in first-person AND third-person. Very interesting look into the mind of this monster and the results through the testimonies of those who survived his "medical science".

What a wonderful terrible book. The stories of the twins was heartbreaking and enlightening. First hand memories and accounts are always the most powerful. Interesting to learn what actually became of Josef Mengele, least what they could verify. Lots of information that you would otherwise not know of. What happened to them AFTER the war ended and how they survived and didn't survive. A must read for all who have a heart for those who were imprisoned.

This book is beyond comprehension. These poor children had to endure so much to survive and to amuse Menegele, I can't bring myself to call him a doctor since he failed to follow his hippocratic oath. This book is well written and an easy read. The subject matter is troubling, let us pray that this never, ever happens again. Never forget.

Absolutely amazing. This kept me up at night several times. This was my first time reading anything pertaining to the twins who were experimented upon. It's definitely shocking.
I loved how the authors weaved the twins words in between Mengele's story- everything was spaced out well in the book.
