Dr. Josef Mengele By Samantha Henderson Who was Dr. Mengele and what were some of his experiments?

Who was Dr. Mengele? Josef Mengele was born on March 16 th In 1937 Mengele joined the Nazi Party. He volunteered to work at the concentration camp, Auschwitz. As a doctor, Mengele performed many crucial experiments to young children and Adults.

Dr. Mengele’s Experiments Dr. Mengele was very interested in many things about the human body. Some of his experiments caused death, or serious injury. For one of his experiments he wanted to see if you could change the color of the people’s eyes, so he injected harmful chemicals into their eyes. He also injected chloroform into their hearts, which made them suffer death, or making them be paralyzed for the rest of their lives. That’s why his nickname was the “Angel of Death.”

Twins Dr. Mengele had a huge interest on twins. He wanted all the Nazi’s to find a set of twins at the camp, so he could experiment with them. Some mothers tried to hide their twins, and other mothers would announce their twins to the Nazi’s. Every time Mengele had a set of twins he often called twins his “children.” Except, if the twins were at a young age, Mengele would let the mothers be with them for a few days. Twins often got special treatment, by being fed more often, and being allowed to play sports. The twins had no idea what was in store for them, until they were in the experiment lab ready to be tested on. Dr. Mengele had a huge interest on twins.
