How Did Josef Mengele Contribute To The Holocaust?

The horrific experiments of Dr. Mengele demonstrate the cruelty of the Nazi’s during the holocaust. Most of the world today knows of Dr. Mengele of having been the doctor of death for being responsible for killing more than 6 million Jews.

You also discover later on what experiments Nyiszli was a part of. He happen to be assisting Mengele on both the Twins and Dwarfs experiments. His job for the Twins were to patrol Auschwitz and gather up any dead bodies of twins then perform autopsy before handing them off the Mengele for whatever he had in store. Some of these experiments Nyiszli was forced to handle them and

Joseph Mengele is the angle of death he is a scientist that did experiments on people. He killed a lot of innocent people. One experiment was him injecting people with gasoline. After the war he was escorted to Argentina with some SS people. He live there for a while then moved to South America. Then he found a refugee soldier from the war and took his identity.(Josef Mengele) https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007060

  Josef Mengele worked at Auschwitz conducting medical experiments; his favorite operation was succeeded on twins. However, Mengele did not feel the same way about the other twins as he did Eva and Miriam. The sisters were put through many gruesome surgeries and experiments by Mengele. Eva later recalled:

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. As the eldest son of a well-to-do Bavarian industrialist, he was expected to carry on the family business and run his father’s company in Germany. However, Joseph took the non-traditional

The Holocaust was led by Adolf Hitler during World War II. There were many countries involved such as, the United States of America, Italy, France, and Germany. The Angel of Death also known as Dr. Josef Mengele was one of the most famous doctors that worked in the internment camps. Some of the experiments were on twins and dwarfs. Dr. Mengele used a lot of different experiments against the Jews and there are lasting effects/remnants from the experiments.

Josef Mengele would perform many of his gruesome experiments mostly on twins, but also children. Dr. Josef Mengele wanted twins, for “medical research”, and the kids were younger or older than five years old (“Josef Mengele”). Then were murdered after the experiments was over and their bodies were dissected. Dr. Josef Mengele would collect the eyes of his murdered twins, and children. Since Dr. Josef Mengele was fascinated with heterochromia which was one eye color being different from the other one, Dr. Mengele would insert chemicals into the eyes of children to try to change their eye color from one to another. Dr. Josef Mengele performed twin to twin transfusion. Not only did Dr. Mengele do that but he also stitched twins together like siamese twins. To top it all of Dr. Josef Mengele castrated, and sterilized twins. To castrate a person means to remove their private areas. Many twins had their organs, and limbs removed in surgeries without any anesthesia. (“The Angel of Death.”) Dr. Josef Mengele performed a lot on twins to trace the genetic origin of various diseases. (“Josef Mengele”). Chloroform would be injected into the twins hearts so that the twins could die instantly, and Dr. Josef could dissect them piece, by piece. (“ The Angel of

The experiments were inhuman and brutal, as were most other conducts of the Nazis. Dr. Mengele often sewed together the twins connecting ones upper torso to the others. If one of any of the twins dies the other would be immediately killed with a medical shot injected into the heart. Promptly after joint autopsies would be performed

On the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website, an article about Josef Mengele, stated that he was famous for his inhumane medical experiments he performed on prisoners in the concentration camps in Auschwitz. Mengele earned his Ph.D in Anthropology from the University of Munich in 1935. One of Mengel’s favorite experiments

Mengele's experiments stated, “My body most of the time was connected to tubes which inserted some drugs into my body. Many days I was tied up for hours” (“Personal Statements From Victims of Nazi Medical Experiments” 1). This quote shows yet again the terrible actions that Dr. Mengele was guilty of and proves that most humans are naturally evil. Although Josef Mengele performed experiments on the prisoners that stood out to him, he was particularly interested in twins. Mengele was so obsessed with twins that he oversaw gruesome tests on 3,000 sets (“Rantings of a Nazi Monster 1”).

It was here where he further research on racial differences, mentally disabled, anomalies of giants, dwarfs, hunchbacks, and other deformities. He also conducted gruesome experiments on his patients at Auschwitz. Josef Mengele soon was known as “The Angel of Death”, and after the end of the war, it was found that he himself killed over 400,000 of Auschwitz’s inmates. Some inmates of Auschwitz recalled Josef’s time there as, “ He made Auschwitz a nightmarish world unto itself” (Cefrey 63). After the war, Mengele led a very different

When Josef Mengele’s bones were found, the world let out a sigh of relief. For over forty years survivors of the Nazi death camps, known as Auschwitz, were haunted by the vision of the handsome, well-dressed man with a caring smile who pointed his white-gloved finger either left or right deciding who lived and who died. Those who passed this man and survived have always remembered him as the Angel of Death. Dr. Mengele is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands at Auschwitz concentration camp. Josef Mengele’s horrific experiments prove that he is the most dehumanizing person in history.

a. Attention Getter: Josef Mengele, Angel of Death, the man that ordered the death of around 1.6 million people. Men, women, old, or young, no one was an exception. At the point of a finger they were sent to the gas chambers. Prisoners learned quickly that he was someone whose orders were to be followed without argument. Names such as Lord of Life and Death, Dr. Auschwitz and even God were commonly used by

However, this man who exhibited a sense of strength and fierceness to his victims was neither physically or emotionally strong. He was very insecure about his physical appearance, and constantly thought people were out to get him. He felt he had to belittle others accomplishments in order to make himself feel more confident. Mengele especially hated gypsies, and viewed them as more of a subspecies than other groups he killed. The following passage, which comes from Mengele’s arrest warrant, which detailed his heinous crimes, illustrates his disregard for their lives:

Eva and Miriam Mozes were born in Portz, Romania, on Jan. 30, 1934. The life for the Mozes twins and their family was good for a couple of years, but in March 1944, the family was told to get a few things because they were going to be relocated. They were send to Auschwitz. Eva and Miriam were 10 years old when they were immediately identified as twins and the people that were in charge separated them from the family for experimentation. The rest of the family perished in the gas chambers. When Eva and Miriam were separated from their family, they were put through a lot of extreme surgeries and experiments by Dr.Mengele. A horrifying fate was waiting for them with Mengele. Eva recalled her own quick introduction to life at Auschwitz, when she first went to use the latrine she found corpses of several children lying on the floor. Ever since then she made a silent promise to make sure that her and Miriam don’t end up on that filthy floor. The twins lived with thousands of other twin girls. They had two really small meals a day of bread and coffee, the girls lived in filthy barracks and slept cuddle up together on wooden boards. During the day, they were marched to Auschwitz, where Dr. Mengele, the Angel of Death, would start performing very unsafe experiments on them. Mengele was trying to discover the secret of twinning using, cruel and
