Major Events In Mengele's Life

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

Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death, spent 30 years on the run from officials and was never caught(“After”). Josef Mengele was a German doctor. He conducted experiments on prisoners in Auschwitz. He was also a war criminal after the ending of the war. Josef Mengele intensified WWII in many ways, and this will be shown through his life, in Auschwitz, and in South America.

Auschwitz was one of the largest and first concentration camp during WW2 and next to Auschwitz were two other death camps that were named Auschwitz ll and lll. At Auschwitz, there was a total of 8 gas chambers and 4 of them can hold up to 2,000 prisoners (Mostly Jews) at a time. There were 11 million people murdered in the Holocaust and it estimated that 6 million Jews were killed and one in six was killed at Auschwitz.

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".

Auschwitz: A Doctor’s Eye­wit­ness Account by Dr. Mik­lós Nyis­zlI is a non-fiction mem­oir of a Jew­ish Hun­gar­ian med­ical doc­tor who per­formed alongside Dr. Josef Mengele in the Nazi death camp Auschwitz from 1944-45 to conduct “research” on Jews. This book is a lot to swallow and doesn’t beat around the bush, it’s straight to the point.

Dr. Clauberg developed a method of mass sterilization. It used a chemical irritant that produced severe inflammation. This caused the fallopian tubes to shut and close. Some of his experiments killed his subjects. Others were put to death so an autopsy could be performed. Dr. Mengele would pick a pair of twins or someone with a physical handicap and conduct painful and exhausting examinations. They could last for hours and were terrifying for children. Photographs, casts of teeth and jaws, and fingerprints and toe prints were taken from the subjects. Once the examinations were over, Dr. Mengele ordered the twins to death by lethal injection. He would then move on to the next phase, analysis of internal organs at autopsy. Interesting specimen were preserved and shipped to the Institute in Berlin-Dahlem for more

Mengele was cruel and unapologetic. What he did, he believed he did in the name of Germany and science. Perhaps this lack of remorse and guilt is what is most intriguing about him. Mengele had an eventful life from his early years, to what he did in the Holocaust, to the time after the Holocaust was over.

During the postwar, Mengele was detained by allied forces until they released him. He would continue to move across the continent until his captors were got closer to him. He gained access to a “Red Cross passport in 1949 and escaped to South America, where he spent 30 years traveling through Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil.” He would steal other Nazi member's identities in which he would always elude the authorities. He would travel “….under a host of fake names: Fritz Fischer, Walter Hasek, Dr. Helmut Gregor-Gregori, José Aspiazi, Friedrich Edler von Breitenbach, Dr. Henrique Wollmann and, finally, Wolfgang Gerhard.” While in running, Mengele did not see he was wanted for his war crimes. Even as the courts wanted to have justice many of his

Adolf Hitler was the mastermind behind wanting to kill all of the Jews. Later on, Hitler even persecuted people outside of the Jewish religion. There was forced labor, or you would be sentenced to death. If you were a child, a pregnant woman, or a senior, you would be put to death right away. A Nazi, Josef Mengele, performed many experiments on people. To study the human eye color, he injected serum into the eyeballs of dozens of children, causing them excruciating pain. He also injected chloroform into the heart of twins, to determine if both siblings would die at the same time and in the same manner. There were also subdivision camps called Auschwitz ll and Auschwitz lll. Altogether, the camps held

“Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.” Is said by Kevin Durant it’s an inspirational quote. But the Nazi’s used it to be evil. They used a lot of hard work to kill the millions of Jews. The Nazi’s flipped the meaning of the quote. It’s supposed to mean you hard work with your special talents. But the Nazi’s used the good inspirational quote to make it sound bad, They used a lot of hard work to put the Jews in ghettos and then to transport them to the death camps. In fact Josef Mengele would experiment on twins and disabled individuals to make a master race.

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

Dr. Josef Mengele was a highly unpopular Nazi doctor who performed many horrific operations which put many men, women and children to rest. He was a cruel man and he was fascinated with twins, yet with all the sickening experiments he escaped prosecution.

It is said that Mengele “knew exactly why they were there and how killing Jews could advance their careers.” (Wistrich 229) With this being said, there is no doubt as to why survivors and governments have tried to track down Dr. Mengele for countless years after the war. However, is it possible that there might have been a soft side to this man? After all, some twins did call him “Uncle Mengele”; he had to care for them at least a little bit to make sure that they stay alive, even if for his evil necessities. “Yet even Mengele, a music
