Produktbeschreibung
In the shadow of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp, Kalman and Leopold- two young boys-meet as unwitting subjects of Josef Mengele's twisted twin experiments. Pulled from their barrack, they are forced to become servants to the SS guards within Mengele's "hospital" camp, bearing daily witness to scenes of obscene viciousness. Within this nightmarish hell Leopold becomes Kalman's guide, helping him to navigate the terrifying complexities of the SS guard shack. Mengele's atrocities are relentless, yet within this darkness a friendship emerges, testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In January 1945, the Russian army liberates Birkenau and the boys part ways. For fifty-six years Kalman searches tirelessly for his friend and protector, driven by the memory of a boy he knew only by a nickname he had given him: Lipa. Their story is a reminder of the depths of human immorality, and it is a testament to friendship, faith, and survival against all odds. As intolerance and hate intensify in the world, Kalman and Leopold's voices echo across generations, urging us to remember the horrors of fascism so that history's darkest moments remain in the past. Never again!

Autorenporträt
Author - Son of Leopold Richard K. Lowy is an internationally acclaimed producer and creative director, known for crafting award-winning experiences that brought audiences unforgettable moments with legendary artists and thought leaders such as Van Morrison, the Doobie Brothers, Harry Connick Jr., Diana Krall, Malcolm Gladwell, William Shatner, Chris Hadfield and George Foreman. His expertise extended beyond entertainment, orchestrating world-class events like the APEC CEO Summit, with seven world leaders, twenty-one ministers of state, and two hundred CEOs. Yet, after learning of his father's history, Richard embarked on what would become the most profound and personal project of his life. He dedicated himself to the painful but imperative task of preserving his father's harrowing Holocaust experiences. Immersed in the depths of this history, Richard became the driving force behind Leo's Journey: The Story of the Mengele Twins, a documentary narrated by the incomparable EGOT-winning Christopher Plummer. Doing so led to something both extraordinary and unexpected-the reunion of his father with a long-lost campmate, reconnecting threads of history that had been severed for over fifty-six years. His journey, culminating in this book, the story of Kalman and Leopold, transcended any of his previous achievements. Richard's career was the foundation that allowed him to honor their legacy and share this vital historical testimony with the world. This book, one of resilience and courage, have become his own legacy-a testament to remembrance, survival, and the power of reconnecting lives.
