Born in 1878 in Bohemia, Siamese twins Róza and Josefa Blazek were joined at the pelvis and shared a life that was both extraordinary and challenging. Gifted musicians, they toured Europe and gained fame on stage.

In 1906, while performing in France, Róza fell in love with a young officer named Franz. The romance caused tension—Josefa felt sidelined but ultimately supported her sister’s right to love.

Three years later, the world was stunned: Róza was pregnant. Because of their shared body, Josefa experienced the pregnancy too—from morning sickness to labor pains. In 1910, baby Franz was born. Both sisters produced milk and lovingly raised him together.

The trio returned to the stage under a new act: “Two Mothers – One Heart”, touching audiences everywhere.

In 1922, tragedy struck. Josefa fell ill, and doctors urged separation to save Róza. But she refused: “We came into this world together—we will leave it together.”

And so they did, dying just 12 minutes apart.
