Book Launch: I Will Protect You

Book Launch: I Will Protect You

Tuesday, 12pm PDT

During World War II, Dr. Joseph Mengele conducted medical experiments on 3,000 twins. Only 160 would survive–including Eva Mozes Kor and her identical twin sister, Miriam. A new memoir written with Danica Davidson unravels how they were deported to Auschwitz, separated from their family and selected as subjects for Dr. Mengele's infamous experiments.

Join Davidson in conversation with AJU’s Prof. Michael Berenbaum to launch the book and explore how two young girls were able to survive the unimaginable cruelty of the Nazi regime.
