Dr. Josef Mengele Dr. Josef Mengele, born on March 16, 1911, was a German physician who was very interested in experimenting on inmates with physical or phychological disorders. He was placed in Auschwitz after being injured on the front. Auschwitz was one of the most deadliest concentration camps in WW2. Mengele was made chief provider of the gas chambers and the crematoriums and was also given command to watch and direct where the inmates were to go when they arrived to the camps. For some reason, Dr. Mengele was very interested in twins, and was named "The Angel of Death" because of a number of terrible things he did to them. Mengele exposed twins to experimental procedures, chemical gases, sex change operations, and so many others. On January 27, 1945, Josef Mengele and the SS officers abandoned Auschwitz because of the Red Army, and were transferred to Grob Rosen in Silesia. He stayed in the camp as a physician, until he, along with other doctors, were captured by the Soviet army. Mengele soon escaped under a false name and fled to Paraguay, where in 1985, he suffered a heart attack while swimming in a local lake and dround. Dr. Mengele is siad to have taken over 400 thousand souls with him to his grave. None of his records on experiments were ever found.
