Out of the Flames is a historical non-fiction book written by Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone. It centers around the life a 1500’s man named Michael Servetus, (born Michael Serveto) and the legacy that he left behind.

This Monday, Elie Wiesel was taken on a train to the Birkenau concentration camp, with all of his family, as well as many other people from his Jewish town of Sighet, on board. As Elie walked out of the train, he was led to two paths. An SS Officer told him, “Men to the left! Woman to the right!” When asked about what he felt about the words, Elie told us, “Eight words spoken quietly, indifferently, without emotion. Eight simple short words. Yet that was the moment I left my mother.” These words separated Elie and his father from his mother and three sisters. All of these Jews were led to another crossroads, where the left was the labor camp, and the right was the gas chamber. In the middle stood the infamous Dr. Mengele. Dr. Mengele is a well

A Fierce Green Fire, the documentary written by Mark Kitchell who got the name from a similarly titled book. Philip Shabecoff, the author of the book, however was not the original creator of the idea, but obtained it from Aldo Leopold.

As people were forced in through the gates of Auschwitz and up the ramp, twins were separated from the masses and set to the side for Mengele’s research. Mengele’s twins were kept in a special separate house block where they would stay and be examined by him and the doctors who assisted him. When the examinations were completed, most subjects were killed and their organs were autopsied and analyzed so that more information about their genes could be

An infant was ripped from its mother’s womb and hurled into an oven at a German concentration camp named Auschwitz because it was not a twin. Another was killed by his own mother rather than letting it suffer in an experiment. Hundreds of thousands innocents were mercilessly sent to gas chambers where they met their death. The name of the evil and mad person responsible is Joseph Mengele, who was first a student, then a war hero, and finally an Auschwitz doctor. His birth on March 16, 1911, was one millions wished never happened.

“Three days a week, they were marched to blood labs in Birkenau, where they stood naked for hours waiting to be injected with chemical cocktails, ranging from toxic chemicals and scarlet fever to the blood of the opposite sex,” expresses Watson. Mengele devotedly marched his patients to blood labs three days every week, in order to gather research and fulfill the goals of the Nazi; this further insinuates that he was committed to his occupation, regardless of how much misery it caused the innocent victims. Wiesel accentuates this idea by stating that “Dr. Mengele took stock of them from head to foot” (65). Mengele was clearly deranged, due to the fondness he expressed towards his wicked occupation, thus also revealing why he was so dedicated to such an inhumane
