its from body experiments to biomedical testing.While Josef Mengele participated in the Nazi Genocide, one can see the tragic events that he created. Dr. Mengele was truly a smart man.

Little did people known that Josef Mengele was actually hired simply to study heredity in twins. The Nazi army enlisted Mengele during his last years studying at the Frankfurt University.(5)With
Adolf Hitler created a Nazi party that went by the name of the SS, and quickly they received intense military training, planned out their war crimes, and developed concentration camps. The SS showed the world how powerful they truly were—and became the most feared power in all of Nazi Germany. Through this immense power they were able to persecute Jews for their beliefs and they tortured, killed, and enslaved them by the millions. From this group emerged Josef Mengele—a Nazi SS officer who believed
under the Nazi regime, it is not much mentioned of the others who took part in genocide. According to the Holocaust Encyclopedia, during the era of the holocaust, German authorities also targeted other groups because of their perceived "racial inferiority" (“Introduction to the Holocaust”). From European Roma gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah’s witnesses, Africans, and even the disabled, any racial group that was looked down upon to the Nazis were well tortured and punished to execution. Nazis picked
why so many Germans decided to support the Nazi cause. It sought to determine if people would be willing to contradict their conscience if they were commanded to do so by someone in authority. This was done with a psychologist commanding a teacher to administer an electric shock to a student each time a question was answered incorrectly. The results of the Milgram experiment help to explain why so many men in Nazi Germany were recruited to support the Nazi cause and serve as a warning against the use
An Explanation for the Holocaust Everyone who has taken a history course that goes through the 20th century knows about the atrocities performed in Nazi Germany; 11 million people exterminated and countless others put into concentration camps with unimaginable conditions. But most people do not try to explain how the German soldiers could do these things to other human beings. Primo Levi in his book Survival in Auschwitz attempts to answer this question. He begins by explaining the physical
German republic, specifically know as the Weimar Republic, came into act. After some progress it was hit by hyperinflation and other terrible economy problems. Right wing nationalist elements under a variety of movements, but most noticable that the Nazi Leader, Adolf Hitler, thought to blame Germany 's humiliating status on the cruelty of the postwar settlement, on the weakness of democratic government, and on the Jews, whom it claimed possessed a financial stranglehold on Germany. Hitler was given
from the ages of 14-18. When World War II started, more than ninety percent of German youth were members of these organizations. Ninety percent is a huge percentage. That means that almost every teenage German, Gentile was a member of some kind of Nazi Youth Organization. Many of these youth organization actually over rid the parental control on the children. Many were told that the individual or the family was less important than the state. If children had disloyal parents, they were encouraged
axis powers and the united states, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union as the allies. (Guerra) Hitler and his Nazis were a race of “Aryan people” who believed their people were far more superior to any other race in the world. In their minds they believed they were more worthy of respect than even God himself. Hitler regarded the German’s as the Aryan “master race” (Nazi Racism) Hitler wanted a “pure race” so they could one day eventually conquer the world by themselves. Hitler’s perfect

A Gypsy camp died off shortly afterward, and the twins moved to the old building the gypsies lived in by the gas chambers. Rumors flew around that the twins would die in the gas chambers next (Kor and Buccieri). Early January 1945, the SS forced Jews to march into Germany and Eva refused to leave. In the rush and chaos to leave the camp, the Nazis did not
“Nordic stereotypes” from breeding. Most modern day Americans do not realize the origins of eugenics, which was planted by Charles Darwin and Sir Francis Galton and bloomed in America, and what effect it had on the attempt to create a master race in Nazi Germany. America played a very influential role in German eugenics by collaboration between scientists and funding from American corporations. The negative connotation associated with this science is usually directed towards the scientists of the Holocaust
