In My Brother's Image: Twin Brothers Separated by Faith After the Holocaust Paperback - 2001
by Eugene L. Pogany
Now in paperback, this is the true story of the Pogany twins, born Jewish but raised Catholic in Hungary, and how the Holocaust destroyed their close childhood bond. 8-page photo insert.
Summary
In My Brother's Image is the extraordinary story of Eugene Pogany's father and uncle-identical twin brothers born in Hungary of Jewish parents but raised as devout Catholic converts until the Second World War unraveled their family. In eloquent prose, Pogany portrays how the Holocaust destroyed the brothers' close childhood bond: his father, a survivor of a Nazi internment camp, denounced Christianity and returned to the Judaism of his birth, while his uncle, who found shelter in an Italian monastic community during the war, became a Catholic priest. Even after emigrating to America the brothers remained estranged, each believing the other a traitor to their family's faith. This tragic memoir is a rich, moving family portrait as well as an objective historical account of the rupture between Jews and Catholics.
First line
On a fine spring day in Budapest, in 1914, Bela Pogany (ne Popper), a recently trained veterinarian, knelt before a Roman Catholic priest at the Regnum Marianum Church to receive entry into the Catholic faith through the rite of baptism.
