Over 1.5 million children were killed during the Holocaust, and many more were experimented on. They were put in high and low pressure chambers to test the effects this had on their bodies, they had chemicals injected into their eyes to change their eye colour, they were put in freezing cold water to find a cure for hypothermia, and perhaps worst of all, some twins were sewn together like Siamese twins. Vera Alexander, a Jewish inmate at Auschwitz, looked after 50 sets of Romain twins. He said: "I remember one set of twins in particular: Guido and Ina, aged about four. one day, Mengele took them away. when they returned, they were in a terrible state: they had been sewn together, back to back, like Siamese twins. Their wounds were infected and oozing pus. They screamed day and night. Then their parents - I remember the mother's name was Stella - managed to get some morphine and they killed the children in order to end their suffering."
