__ [|Dr. Mengele] __  Nicknamed the "angel of death", Josef Mengele was the cheif provider for the gas chambers at Auchwitz. He was one of the many Nazi doctors assainged to the death camps and was known for the many horrible experiments he performed on men, women, and children. Mengele was sent to Auchwitz after he was injured at the Russian front in the SS. Unlike other doctors at the camp, Mengele was said to have the least of emotions towards his victims and treated them as much less than human, feeling no sorrow for them at all.



[|The Experiments] Dr. Mengele preformed horrifying experiemtns on thousands of patients. He experimented in things both physical and psycological and was most famous for the work he did on twins. Any twins that arrived at the camp were immediately sent to Dr. Mengele's laboratory under his commands. He was known for working with their genetics and preforming other harsh experiments such as injecting chemicals into the eyes of his patients in attempt to change their eye color. He had even gone as far as attempting to find a way to alter an unborn baby's genetics so that the baby would be born with blonde hair and blue eyes, known as what Hitler considered to be the perfect race.

[|What Became Of Mengele] Once World War Two had ended and Auchwitz began to close, Josef Mengele escape by disguising himself as a German soldier and was allowed to leave. He then left Germany and escaped to South America and had spent more than thrity-five years in Parguay and Brazil. In 1979, Mengle had suffered from a stroke while swimming in a lake and had drowned.
