NY Survivor
Wants Reunion
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Mark Berkowitz, a twin
who survived Joseph
Mengele's experiments at
Birkenau-Auschwitz, is or-
ganizing a reunion of
Jewish survivors who were
children in the medical ex-
periments section of the
camp and children from
D-Camp, Block 24. All such
survivors can contact him

City, N.Y. 10956.
Mengele, who is repor-
tedly hiding in Paraguay,

especially twins, for his
"medical" experiments. Six
pairs of these twins were
liberated, according to Ber-
kowitz. In addition to him-
self and his sister, he be-
lieves only three other pairs
of twins are now still alive.
Berkowitz, 48, lives in
New City with his wife and
children, and his sister lives
in New York with her fam-
ily. He still wears a neck
brace because of Mengele's
experiments, which in-
volved injections into his
spine. His sister has related
medical problems.
