Marion Ein Lewin and Steven Hess are among the few sets of twins who survived the Holocaust — and quite possibly the last.

Born 45 minutes apart on January 14, 1938, in Amsterdam, Holland, their happy childhood was shattered in 1943. Torn from their home, the six year-old twins were deported to a place their mother called “this dying hell” — the infamous concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen, after first spending almost six months in Westerbork, a Nazi transit camp.

In the camp, they played a “game,” stepping as close as possible to a border line defining the narrow no-man’s land between the camp proper and the outer electrified barbed wire. If one went over the line towards the electrified barbed wire you were shot.

With their father being beaten beyond recognition, dodged strafing warplanes, they somehow survived in a place where “the children were looking for bread between the corpses.”

Join Marion Ein Lewin and Steven Hess in conversation with Faris Cassell and Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat for a conversation moderated by David Rubenstein about the family’s incredible story. As the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles, the Hess twins’ account of their childhood forces us to grapple with pure evil. And more important, it is an opportunity to offer the most meaningful of tributes to victims and survivors of the Third Reich: remembrance.
