Summary | It's 1944 when the twin sisters arrive at Auschwitz with their mother. In their benighted new world, Pearl and Stasha Zagorski take refuge in their identical natures, comforting themselves with the private language and shared games of their childhood. As part of the experimental population of twins known as Mengele's Zoo, the girls experience privileges and horrors unknown to others, and they find themselves stripped of the personalities they once shared. |
