Review & FAQ:

CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center offers a haunting look into the abhorrent genetic experiments conducted against twin children at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp during the Second World War. The museum was founded by Eva Kor, who, along with her twin sister was a survivor of the experiments carried out by Dr. Josef Mengele at Auschwitz. The name of the museum - CANDLES - stands for "Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors" and features heart-wrenching exhibits telling the story of what happened to twin children at the death camp.
