Eva Kor And Dr. Mengele: The Angel Of Death

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.

Dr. Mengele was by far the most feared SS Officer in the death camp of Auschwitz. His fellow Officers and inmates even gave him the nickname of the “The Angel of death”. As soon as Jews from all parts of Europe arrived at the platform, the first selection began. Men to the left, women and children to the right, and as they “arrived at the platform, they shouted for women

Born on March 16, 1911, in Gunzburg, Germany was Josef Mengele. He was amongst the eldest son of his father, Karl Mengele, who owned a chain of prosperous farming implements. Josef attended Munich University where he later earns his Ph.D in 1935. After his graduation, he applied to the Institute for Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene. When working there, he soon became the assistant of Dr. Otmar Von Vershuer which was very popular for his research on twins.

Who was Dr. Joseph Mengele during the Holocaust? To some, he seemed a Doctor while others only saw death when his name was said. Josef Mengele was born on March 16, 1911, in Germany in Günzburg.

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

Those born in Auschwitz were generally killed on the spot, especially if the child was Jewish or of its descent. Though reckless with his harsh dealings, but Joseph Mengele was always careful with his twins. Some survivors even claim and remember Mengele as “a father figure who would give us candy and clothes and tell us to call him Uncle Mengele.” He favored long-drawn out deaths and did not hesitate to experiment with new methods. The psychopath would conduct the most inhumane experiments without any sedatives, such as injections with deadly bacteria, sex change operations, cutting off limbs, and removing organs. He treated his “patients” like animals and ruthlessly did all of this without a single cent of remorse.

Many know the role of a doctor as someone who provides help for others when they are in need, but during the Holocaust one doctor was not known as someone who helped the people in need. Dr. Josef Mengele, who was a research scientist during the Holocaust, conducted many gruesome experiments on twins, kids, men, and women. Dr. Josef Mengele studied anthropology at the University of Munich in 1935, where he also earned his Ph.D. In January, 1937, Dr. Josef Mengele went to study at the Institute for Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene in Frankfurt. At the institute, Dr. Josef Mengele became the assistant of Dr. Otmar von Verschuer, who was known for his research on twins. In the same year of 1937 Dr. Josef Mengele joined the Nazi party. The

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

Mengele experimented on prisoners but there were a few he specifically did with children. For example this famous experiment he performed on children was the creation of twins. He specialized in twins. When he experimented with twins a lot of test were taken. The twins were forced to undress and lay next to each other. Then every detail of their anatomy was carefully examined, studied, and measured. Two female twins were forced into sex with two male twins to see if they themselves would produce twins. Blood tests included mass transfusions of blood from one twin to another. Injections into the spine and spinal taps with no anesthesia. Diseases, including typhus and tuberculosis, would be purposely given to one twin and not the other. When one died, the other was often killed to examine and compare the effects of the disease.These tests would last for several hours (Auschwitz

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”).

The Life of Josef Mengele What comes to your mind when you think of a doctor? Someone who takes care of you when you’re sick, a friendly person who you aren’t scared to see? Well, Josef Mengele was the exact opposite of that. My research is going to inform you about Josef Mengele’s childhood, activities during the war, and his whereabouts after the war in order to prevent another man like him from being able to cause so much destruction and devastation.

Dr. Josef Mengele was born on March 16, 1911, in Günzburg, Germany. His upper middle-class family was the proprietors of a machine tools business. Josef Mengele was the eldest son of Karl Mengele and Walburga Mengele. Josef Mengele was a promising student and went to Munich to study racial theories and earned a Ph.D. in physical anthropology. He then moved to Frankfurt-am-Main to

During his time at the concentration camp, Josef Mengele was not the only physician at Auschwitz. He was not even the highest-ranking physician at the camp. That was SS captain Dr. Eduard Wirths, whose position as garrison physician made him responsible in all medical matters for the entire camp complex. Mengele started at Auschwitz in the spring of 1943 as the medical officer responsible for Birkenau's Gypsy camp. After its liquidation in November 1943, Mengele took a new position as Chief Camp Physician of Auschwitz II better known as Birkenau.

Thesis: From his early life to his insane experiments, Josef Mengele is a perfect model of the evils humans are capable of.

The life story of Josef Mengele is one that is filled many twists and turns that play out like a suspense story with an ending that does not seem to fit what one would expect. The authors of the book Mengele: The Complete Story, Gerald L. Posner and John Ware, wrote this book largely with information taken from diaries and letters of Mengele’s, and interviews with those who knew him. It is a look into the life and times of a man whose nickname was “The Angel of Death.'; Josef’s life and post-mortem fate could be divided into three different chapters. His pre-war life and life during World War II was one of privilege and freedom to satisfy his perverse desire to perform bizarre and mostly useless medical
