Siamese twin sisters Róza and Josefa Blazek were born connected at the pelvis. One of them fell in love with a man when they were 26.
Róza was pregnant three years later and gave birth to a very unique child. Together, the two sisters produced milk and nursed the infant.
Destiny penned a special and difficult tale for Róza and Josefa Blazek from the moment of their birth in Bohemia on January 20, 1878.
Siamese twins were physically bonded together for life at the pelvis where they united.
The girls traveled throughout Europe, learned music, and gave stage performances.
Róza met a young lieutenant called Franz in 1906 while on a tour in France, and he ended up changing her life. They developed a romantic relationship.
Josefa found it difficult to accept the partnership.
Despite feeling excluded, she was unable to leave. But in the end, she accepted her sister’s right to love.
They started meeting often, and in 1909, the news that one of the Siamese twins was pregnant shocked France.
Since Róza was the one in the relationship, it was expected that she was the one expecting. However, because their bodies were united, Josefa also had to deal with everything, even labor pains and morning sickness.
A robust, healthy baby boy was delivered on April 16, 1910. In honor of his father, he was given the name Franz. Once more, fate displayed its peculiar hand: the two sisters produced milk, fed the infant together, and nurtured him while providing for his safety.
With their son in tow, the sisters took the stage once more. The crowd greeted them with tears in their eyes and admiration for their performance, “Two Mothers – One Heart.”
Then came sickness. Then Josefa fell ill in 1922. To rescue Róza, the doctors suggested a surgical separation. However, she declined without hesitation, saying, “We will leave this world together, just as we entered it.”
And that’s precisely what took place. Twelve minutes separated their deaths on the same day.
