Auschwitz Survivor Seeks Twin Brother

Menachem Bodner, a given name, is a 73 year old man who survived Auschwitz. He has a twin brother, but he hasn't seen him since they were in Auschwitz. Bodner's "number" is A 7733, while his brother's was A 7734. Bodner has posted a picture of him when he was 5 and a picture he thought was a family photo on the Internet. A genealogist proved the family photo was not his. Bodner, with the genealogists help, have discovered that he was born Eli Gottesman and he does have a twin brother named Jeno. They were both experimented on by the infamous Josef Mengele, who was known for his awful experiments on humans, and most notably, twins.
