At decades away, the men noticed that dress the same, going the same way, have the same temperament and tics, both love butter and spicy food and to use the toilet flush before, reports Los Angeles Times.
"They are a perfect example of how the twins, although they have increased in completely different environments, are very similar," said Nancy Segal, professor of psychology at Cal State Fullerton, who has studied brothers in a research from the University of Minnesota.
Oskar went to Germany with his Catholic mother, Elizabeth, and grew up as the Nazis rose to power. Like his fellow students, he greeted the school principal with “Heil, Hitler,” and was warned by his grandmother to never let on that his father, Joseph, was Jewish. As an act of survival, Oskar joined the Hitler Youth
Years later, he confessed that he had dreamed that he shot down his twin in an aerial dogfight. Jack had a similar nightmare about killing Oskar with a bayonet.
For Jack, however, the war was a distant threat, experienced mainly through newsreels he saw growing up in Trinidad with their father. His childhood was difficult in other ways.
“As a white, red-headed boy in a predominantly black and Indian culture, he stood out a lot and was beat up a lot,” said his son, Kenneth. “He was constantly having to prove himself.” Luckily, he was highly competitive and excelled athletically.
However, despite the differences so blatant when they met the first time in 21 years, they found that the same kind of wore glasses and wore the same jacket (one bought in Israel, and the other in Germany). In 1954, before heading to the United States where his father had settled, he decided to stop in Germany to look up his brother. They were 21 when they met for the first time as adults.
The meeting was a bit embarrassing because of language barriers. "Why do you wear the same clothes Oskar like me ?, I asked, and he answered" Why you wear the same clothes as me? " told Yufe to BBC
25 years have passed and have not seen. In 1979 Yufe saw an article about "Jim twins," a pair of twins who was separated at birth, each baby was baptized by Jim each foster family. Like Yufe and his brother, Oskar, Jim Springer and Jim Lewis met when they were adults and were amazed to find similarities between them. They both had jobs like police and both had been married and divorced two women who had the same first name.
Jim brothers were the first university study subjects Minnesota. Yufe was intrigued by trial and Oskar asked him to attend. Thus, Yufe and Oskar became the seventh pair of twins participating in the study.
Thomas J. Bouchard, the psychologist who led the study, noted that the brothers spoke and shared the same habits as quite odd. "I thought only of myself I won't play with elastic or bobby pins when excited, but Oskar was the same," said Yufe.
Of 137 pairs of separated twins in the two-decade University of Minnesota study, 56 were fraternal and 81 were identical. Yufe and his brother, Oskar Stohr, stood out because of their dramatically dissimilar backgrounds.
"They had a special relationship, one of love and hate. They felt revulsion, but also an attraction to each other," said Nancy Segal, who wrote in 2005 a book about the twins.
Oskar Stohr, who worked in the mine for many years, died of lung cancer in 1997. Yufe Jack died on November 11, 2015, at the age of 82 in San Diego, was killed by stomach cancer.
When Nancy Segal asked him, Yufe Jack, if he loved his brother, she replied that "do not even know if we liked." They spent a month together during the study.
The so-called invisible bond between twins, it seems that does not always work. There pairs of twins who show "Shark syndrome" in the sense that it is not willing to share much with his brother.
