twin brothers separated by faith after the Holocaust

  • 1 Want to read

"In My Brother's Image is the extraordinary story of identical twin brothers, Miklos and Gyorgy Pogany, who were born in Hungary of Jewish parents but raised as devout Catholic converts until the Second World War unraveled their family.".

"Miklos, Eugene Pogany's father, was persecuted as a Jew and interned in Bergen-Belsen, an experience that led him to denounce Christian passivity and return to the Judaism of his birth. The other brother, Gyorgy, became a Catholic priest and found shelter during the war in an Italian monastic community of San Giovanni Rotondo, where he became a devoted follower of Padre Pio, the priest and miracle worker who was beatified in May 1999.

The twins' mother, having become a deeply believing Catholic, perished in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, clutching a crucifix to her breast." "Eugene Pogany portrays how the Holocaust destroyed these brothers' close childhood bond. Each believing the other a traitor to their family's faith, they remained estranged even after emigrating to America, where they lived and worked only miles from each other."--BOOK JACKET.
