'Through thick and thin, never separate. Stick together, guard each
other, and live for one another.' As Hitler's war intensified, the
Ovitz family would have good reason to stand by their mother's
mantra. Descending from the cattle train into the death camp of
Auschwitz, all twelve emerged in 1945 as survivors - the largest
family to survive intact. What saved them? Ironically, the fact
that they were sought out by the 'Angel of Death' himself - Dr
Joseph Mengele. For seven of the Ovitzes were dwarfs - and not just
any dwarfs, but a beloved and highly successful vaudeville act
known as the Lilliput Troupe. Together, they were the only
all-dwarf ensemble with a full show of their own in the history of
entertainment. The Ovitzes intrigued Mengele, and amongst the
thousands on whom he performed his loathsome experiments, they
became his prize 'patients': 'You're something special, not like
the rest of them.' It was this disturbing affection that saved
their lives. After being plunged into the darkest moments in modern
history, this remarkable troupe emerged with spirits undimmed, and
went on to light up Europe and Israel, which offered them a new
home, with their unique performances. Giants reveals their moving
and inspirational story.
