00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.000
Among the 2,819 liberated Auschwitz inmates,

2
00:00:08.001 --> 00:00:11.000
there were 180 children;

3
00:00:11.001 --> 00:00:15.000
52 of them were under 8 years of age.

4
00:00:15.001 --> 00:00:19.000
How could they survive this hell?

5
00:00:19.001 --> 00:00:23.000
They managed to survive because they were wanted

6
00:00:23.001 --> 00:00:29.000
for medical research instead of mice and rabbits.

7
00:00:29.001 --> 00:00:34.000
But the German murderers with medical degrees were only keen

8
00:00:34.001 --> 00:00:37.000
on a particular kind of children:

9
00:00:37.001 --> 00:00:41.000
they wanted to experiment on twins.

10
00:00:41.001 --> 00:00:45.000
Twins were a special research material of Doctor Mengele

11
00:00:45.001 --> 00:00:47.000
and Doctor Schmidt's.

12
00:00:47.001 --> 00:00:51.000
Children who did not belong to that category

13
00:00:51.001 --> 00:00:53.000
were simply murdered.

14
00:00:53.001 --> 00:01:13.000
The infants were known by the numbers on their little hands.
