One of the youngest known survivors of Dr. Josef Mengele’s infamous experiments on identical twins during the Holocaust will be coming to Chabad of the Tri-Valley in Pleasanton next week to discuss her life and the award-winning documentary she directed.
Sora Vigorito, who was among 89 pairs of identical twins who went through the so-called Angel of Death’s laboratory, will be speaking during the event scheduled for Monday (Sept. 8). The event will begin at 7:30 p.m.
