Holocaust Doctors Their lives and Their experiments By: Ryan Carroll, David Bicking, Dante Stotler, Matthew forrester

Doctor Joseph Mengele Born: March 16, 1911 Josef was very popular in his youth, being incredibly intelligent. Josef Mengele had studied philosophy at Munich University and medicine at Frankfurt University. Mengele joined the Nazis in 1935 and went into the SS. He was later wounded at the Russian front after being injured and unfit for battle, he volunteered to go to a concentration camp, which was named Auschwitz. Where he had been nicknamed “The Angel of Death”

Josef Mengele "The Angel of Death" Dr. Mengele had been the leading contributor to the gas chambers and crematorium, he would often whistle Mozart as he selected people to die. When one block was infested with lice he ordered all 750 women inside that block to be sent to the gas chambers. Dr. Mengele preparing experimentations on some twins. Josef Mengele had loved experiments on twins, psychologically and physically experimenting on them. One of his experiments was to round up 14 pairs of gypsie twins and inject chloroform into their hearts, which killed them instantly. He then began to dissect them. They were the lucky ones though, Josef usually liked to perform  his  dissections on living people without anesthesia. At one point at his stay at Auschwitz he had drew a line on the wall at about 3 feet tall, all of those children who didn’t reach that line were murdered. Mengele had also done experiments such as, injecting lethal germs into children, stitching children together and cutting off limbs and sewing different ones on.

Mengele's Escape from Justice. Mengele's escape was smooth and plotted out it seems even before the war ended. He had fled to Western Germany immediately after the war living under the alias Fritz Hollman, which was on his army discharge papers, which had deceived U.S investigators, where his unit was taken to a U.S P.O.W camp. He then went to the U.S occupied zone of Germany, ran off to Austria and then to Italy where he had fled to South America. Traveling the entire South American continent under many aliases until his death in 1979 where he had drowned right off the coast of Brazil.

Dr. Eugene Lazowski Born: 1913 in Czestochowa, Poland Dr. Lazowski used to be in the polish army. By the time the Germans invaded, he had just finished medical school. He was part of the Polish Red Cross in a town called Rozwadow.

Polish Schindler Eugene would always provide care for his Jewish neighbors. Whenever someone needed medical assistance, They would hang a rag on his fence and then he would contact them for their needs. Eugene had an assistant named Stanislav Matulewicz. They worked together on creating a way to make the Jews not to go to internment camps. They found out that if someone was injected with dead typhus then they would test positive for it. This fake illness made the Nazis not take anymore Jews from that area. The area officially became quarantined.

Dr. Eugene Lazowski's affect Eugene would always keep his work secreted and never let anyone know do to the fear of the Nazis catching him. His fake epidemic made the Nazis very conscious about health and then they quarantined that zone. Eugene's work helped save over 8.000 people
