Josef Mengele's Experiments During The Holocaust

Many brutal atrocities were committed during the Holocaust by the Nazi party against anyone they viewed as “unpure”. This included the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, Afro-Germans, Slavs, communists, the handicapped, and the mentally disabled. These groups were targeted, stripped away of their rights and citizenship, and then sent to concentration camps. Some of these camps were death camps; created for the sole purpose to annihilate these groups of people, mainly the Jews. At these camps, the prisoners were tortured, starved, brutally killed, and experimented on. In this research paper, I am going to discuss some of the medical experiments that were

Josef Mengele was a Doctor and a Official from Germany he was know as the angel of death. He was born in march 16th 1911. Mengele was the eldest of three brothers and he was always a good student. In January of 1937 was assistant of doctor Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer. He was a scientist who studied genetics which had a great interest in twins. Mengele then wrote a thesis about Cleft lip and cleft palate, qualified very well which made Josef get a doctorate in medicine. Year later mengele married Irene Schönbein with whom she contracted her only son named Rolf. During the year 1937 and 1938 Mengele joined the Nazi party and also the SS. Some months after the Second World War in 1949 Mengele volunteered for the medical service of the Walffen-SS (They were the elite fighting body of the Schutzstaffel). Then sent a request for the service of the transfer to the concentration

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.

“He cut into me, without anesthetic,...The pain was indescribable. I felt every slice of the knife. Then I saw my kidney pulsating in his hand. I cried like a madman, I cried out the prayer; “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one...And I prayed to die, that I might not suffer this agony any more.” (Hall). This was said by a ‘patient’ of Dr. Josef Mengele, Mr. Yitzhak Ganon. Mr. Ganon was of the survivors of the inhumane experiments that took place in Auschwitz by the hand of the abominable man that is Josef Mengele. Josef Mengele was one of the most infamous men associated with the Holocaust, his cruel experiments on twins, jews, gypsies, and the other being held at Auschwitz made him widely known for his cruelty, warranting him the title of “The Angel of Death".

The Holocaust is arguably one of the biggest genocide in world history when between five and six million Jews were killed. Most were killed by gas or by firing squad or by simply being burned. But some of the Jews were victims of the doctors during the Holocaust. One of the most famous doctors during this time was Dr. Mengele, he was responsible for most of the deaths caused by experiments during the time. His career began at the Institute for Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene in Frankfurt, where he became the assistant of Dr. Otmar von Verschuer, a leading scientific figure widely known for his research with twins. In 1947 he joined the Nazi party and the next year he joined the SS. He wasn't the only doctor during the time though there

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.

Josef Mengele, a demoralized Nazi doctor and scientist is known for his frightful human experiments during the holocaust. Mengele generally studied and examined twin children and other human experimentation. Due to these events, Josef Mengele's nickname was "The Angel of Death".

During the holocaust prisoners of concentration camps were faced with evil, torture and death every day. Some of the prisoners in these camps were selected for Nazi medical experiments. Nazi doctors performed several different human experiments on prisoners throughout the Holocaust. A specifically horrific experiment was the twin experiments. This experiment was performed by Dr. Joseph Mengele and several of his assistants in Auschwitz. He is known for performing some of the most inhumane experiments during the holocaust.

Imagine traveling to an unknown location, with 100 other human beings in an overcrowded train car, without an food or drink, for days. This is what Holocaust prisoners faced every time they were transported to a new concentration camp. One of the worst being Auschwitz. Unlike most concentration camps, Auschwitz was made up of about 40 other wicked facilities. Also, the camp is known for having the highest death count compared to any other concentration camp. Auschwitz was the most brutal concentration camp in Europe during the Holocaust.

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

Auschwitz was one of the most infamous and largest concentration camp known during World War II. It was located in the southwestern part of Poland commanded by Rudolf Höss. Auschwitz was first opened on June 14, 1940, much later than most of the other camps. It was in Auschwitz that the lives of so many were taken by methods of the gas chamber, crematoriums, and even from starvation and disease. These methods took "several hundreds and sometimes more than a thousand" lives a day. The majority of the lives killed were those of Jews although Gypsies, Yugoslavs, Poles, and many others of different ethnic backgrounds as well. The things most known about Auschwitz are the process people went through when entering the camp and

Of all of the death camps built by the Nazis during World War II, none was larger or more destructive than the terrifying Auschwitz camp. Auschwitz was built by the Nazis in 1940, in Oswiecim, Poland, and was composed of three main parts. Auschwitz I was built in June 1940 and was intended to hold and kill Polish political prisoners. Auschwitz II-Birkenau, which opened October 1941, was larger and could contain over 100,000 inmates. Auschwitz III-Monowitz provided slave labor for a plant close by. In addition, there were many sub-camps. The most important camp at Auschwitz designed for the extermination of many people was Birkenau; numerous gas chambers and crematoria were established there, mainly to murder and incinerate Jews as
