‘The Last Twins': Mengele's Twisted Studies
NR | 1h 21m | Documentary | 2025 Dr. Josef Mengele, the notorious 'Angel of Death,' was one of the worst National Socialist war criminals who escaped justice after World War II. Thanks to the courage of Erno 'Zvi' Spiegel, many of the young twins, who served as Mengele's unwilling research subjects, survived the Auschwitz concentration camp and could have duly testified against their tormentor had he been captured.

Where the word ‘Easter' comes from and how only 2 European languages use it
'Happy Easter!' is a wish that will be articulated by many this Sunday, certainly by those observing the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus – with both Western (Gregorian) and Orthodox Easter being celebrated on the same day this year. Advertisement What is interesting is that among the European languages, the word 'Easter' is only found in English and German, while in other Germanic languages and most European languages, the word for the festival is derived from the corresponding word for 'Passover'. Passover is the Jewish festival commemorating the liberation of the Israelites in ancient Egypt after the Tenth Plague – when the Angel of Death killed all the firstborns in Egypt including the Pharoah's, but passed over the homes of Israelites whose door posts had, on God's command, been smeared with lamb's blood. The linguistic environment of the early Christian era encompassed a few significant languages. These included Aramaic, a northwest Semitic language which was a long-standing literary and liturgical language and the lingua franca of the ancient Near East by the time of Jesus; and Hebrew, the dominant language of the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament and the language of the Jews.
