Auschwitz Twins

Sometimes Dreams Come True . . . And so do nightmares. When Naomi's daughter, Perle, starts to have nightmares about smokestacks and creepy doctors, Naomi is struck with terror-the terror of a mother who fears her daughter is in mortal danger. Naomi believes dreams are glimpses into the future. She, too, has had dreams of foreign soldiers with a strange flag invading her tiny village. She knows in her heart that evil is brewing. Real-life has already been a living hell for Naomi. She must navigate the treacherous path of her unhappy arranged marriage with Hershel while keeping a scandalous love affair secret. And now something is coming. Her dreams-the dreams Hershel laughs at-tell her so. And the thing that is coming will make the hell she has been living seem ordinary and almost peaceful. The noose is tightening, and not even her nightmares can prepare Naomi, or her sleepy little village, from the sweeping scythe of the Nazi death machine.

As the Nazi shadow of death falls across Europe, one man's wickedness looms out of the darkness. Mengele, the Angel of Death. When the Aizenberg family is forced into the crowded Warsaw ghetto, they must share a small apartment with a secular Jewish family. This living arrangement will be a test for young Shoshana Aizenberg as she enters adulthood. Meanwhile, fast-rising doctor Ernst saves a man's life on the Russian front. For his heroism, Ernst is rewarded with the role of Dr. Mengele's apprentice at Auschwitz. It is an opportunity beyond his wildest dreams . . . the cost is the stuff of his worst nightmares. Gisele's beauty shines in a life fraught with hardship and despair. She desperately hopes to find her father, but first, she'll have to survive the Nazis who have infested Paris.

A bloodcurdling drama unravels in the shadow of Mengele's dark, twisted obsession. Ernst must face his nemesis as he battles to save Shoshana, Bluma, Perle, and ultimately, his heart. Marcel Petoit has weaponized Gisele's dark secrets. Will she escape his evil grip? Will Herschel and Naomi ever see their girls again? The Auschwitz Twins is a thrilling finish to Roberta Kagan's gut-wrenching WW2 historical series set within the grim walls of the dreaded Nazi killing floor.
