The Nazis' Most Evil One

Abstract: A 7 page paper discussing Josef Mengele, the "Angel of Death" of Auschwitz. Mengele escaped the Allies who liberated Auschwitz and the fled to South America where he lived out his days and died a natural death. His remains were examined in 1985, but many refused to believe that Mengele finally had been found until DNA testing in 1992 confirmed that the remains were indeed those of Mengele. Mengele's penchant for twins led him to perform horrendous experiments on them, including killing one by various means while using the other as a control. His human experimentation was not limited to twins. He was interested in any morphological oddity, and he also strove to discover how long a newborn baby could live without food. The paper gives an outline of his background, "research" interests and activities at Auschwitz. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
