- Joseph Mengele was a Nazi physician.
- His nickname was the “Angel of Death”or “Todesengel”in German.
- He did most of his vile experiments on twins. I think he was trying to see if he did something really bad to one twin, it would affect the other twin.
- The subjects of Mengele’s experiments could be frozen to death, put into pressure chambers, castrated, or generally subjected to trauma.
- "He had a look that said 'I am the power,'" said a survivor.
- He injected chemicals into the eyes, usually of children, to try to change their eye color.
- Mengele was a very good student, and got a doctorate at the University of Munich.
- He was an accomplished geneticist,
- Mengele was one of the people who separated people at Auschwitz. If you were old or unfit for work, you went straight to death. If you could be worked to death or he wanted to experiment on you, to the barracks!
- After the war, Mengele fled to South America with some Nazi buddies, where the Israelis eventually found Adolph Eichmann. he ended up living in poverty after his original connections his father made in South America went away because no one wanted to be acquainted with him.
- Eventually, he died in a swimming accident.
