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.
"Have you ever wanted to just leave everything behind and take off to a faraway place?" Here are two people who didn’t just imagine it but actually made it happen. Do-won and Myung-chul left behind their familiar and convenient city life to start anew in an unfamiliar place—Cheongsan (靑山). Cheongsan Island reveals itself only after a six-hour bus ride from Seoul, followed by another hour-long ferry journey. In a place where even those in their sixties are considered young, the arrival of a couple in their thirties was nothing short of astonishing. Wherever they go, their youth stands out. Do-won works as a social worker at a local children’s center, while Myung-chul volunteers at a church café. Though they are still adjusting, little by little, they are building a home for themselves on the island. In Cheongsan, a designated "Slow City" where slowness is considered an art, Do-won and Myung-chul lead surprisingly busy lives.
