Holocaust Survivor and Auschwitz Twin to Share Her Story in St. Petersburg

An Evening with Sora Vigorito, Hosted by the Chabad Jewish Center of St. Petersburg
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Nov 28, 2025 - The Chabad Jewish Center of St. Petersburg invites the community and media to a powerful evening of remembrance and resilience as Holocaust survivor Sora Vigorito shares her remarkable life story during a fireside chat at the Palladium Theater.

Born in October 1941 in Berlin, Ute (Sora) Seiler Vigorito is believed to be the youngest survivor of Dr. Josef Mengele's experimental twins program at Auschwitz. In 1943, she and her twin sister, Channah, lived in hiding. The following year, their mother and older sister were taken by the Nazis, and soon after, the twins were discovered and deported to Auschwitz.

At the concentration camp, Sora and Channah were imprisoned in the children's block and subjected to Mengele's inhumane experiments. Her twin sister did not survive. They were among 89 sets of identical twins forced into the medical trials of the man known as the "Angel of Death."

Sora's story of survival and courage has been preserved through oral history recordings at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and depicted in an Emmy Award-winning film she directed.

The evening will also include a special musical performance, featuring the stirring theme from Schindler's List.
