A sad loss: One of the twins who survived Dr. Mengele

Image description

I was so saddened to hear that Pearl Pufeles, whom I interviewed along with her twin, Helen Rapaport, passed away on September 2nd.   I had the privilege of interviewing these remarkable sisters for my book, (see photo) and their love was as pure as any I've ever witnessed.  Helen's daughter wrote me the kindest email to tell me the news, in which she said, "You honored my Mom and Pearl with you chapter and we are forever grateful and thought you'd want to know."  There is no higher compliment.   Pearl, your spirit was unmistakable and your endurance was a miracle.  I know you were a treasure to your family and you will be deeply missed. 

I hope you will read their indelible story here:  http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-10-28/dr-mengeles-twins/
