1. Night Chapter 3

2. Dr. Mengele ( )
In 1943, Mengele replaced another doctor who had fallen ill at the Nazi extermination camp Birkenau.
During his 21-month stay at Auschwitz, Mengele earned the nickname "Angel of Death" for the cruelty he visited upon prisoners.
Mengele was referred to as "der weisse Engel" ("the White Angel") by camp inmates because when he stood on the platform inspecting new arrivals and directing some to the right, some to the left, his white coat and white arms outstretched evoked the image of a white angel.

3. Dr. Mengele
Mengele took turns with the other SS physicians at Auschwitz in meeting incoming prisoners at the ramp, where it was determined who would be retained for work and who would be sent to the gas chambers immediately. In one instance, he drew a line on the wall of the children's block between about 5 feet or 5 feet 2 inches from the floor, and sent those whose heads could not reach the line to the gas chamber.
"He had a look that said 'I am the power,'" said one survivor. When it was reported that one block was infested with lice, Mengele gassed every single one of the 750 women assigned to it

5. Dr. Mengele’s Experiments
Mengele used Auschwitz as an opportunity to continue his research on heredity. He was interested in identical twins.
Mengele took an interest in physical abnormalities discovered among the arrivals at the concentration camp.
"Mengele occupied his time with other numerous acts of the most base cruelty, including the vivisection of infants; the castration of boys and men without the use of an anesthetic; and the administering of high-voltage electric shocks to women inmates under the auspices of testing their endurance. On one occasion Mengele even sterilized a group of Polish nuns with an X-ray machine, leaving the women horribly burned."

6. Dr. Mengele’s Experiments
Mengele's experiments also included attempts to change eye color by injecting chemicals into children's eyes, various amputations of limbs and other brutal surgeries.
Rena Gelissen's account of her time in Auschwitz details certain experiments performed on female prisoners around October Mengele would experiment on the chosen girls, performing sterilization and shock treatments.
Most of the victims died, either due to the experiments or later infections.
Once Mengele's assistant rounded up 14 pairs of Roma twins during the night. Mengele placed them on his polished marble dissection table and put them to sleep. He then injected chloroform into their hearts, killing them instantly.
Mengele then began dissecting and meticulously noting each and every piece of the twins' bodies.

7. Dr. Mengele’s Experiments
The subjects of Mengele's research were better fed and housed than ordinary prisoners and were, for the time being, safe from the gas chambers.
When visiting his child subjects, he introduced himself as "Uncle Mengele" and offered them sweets. Some survivors remember that despite his grim acts, he was also called "Mengele the protector"
3,000 twins passed through the Auschwitz death camp; Only around 26 pairs of the twins survived

8. Why did he do it?
Auschwitz prisoner Alex Dekel has said: "I have never accepted the fact that Mengele himself believed he was doing serious work — not from the slipshod way he went about it. He was only exercising his power. Mengele ran a butcher shop — major surgeries were performed without anesthesia. Once, I witnessed a stomach operation — Mengele was removing pieces from the stomach, but without any anesthetic. Another time, it was a heart that was removed, again, without anesthesia. It was horrifying. Mengele was a doctor who became mad because of the power he was given. Nobody ever questioned him — why did this one die? Why did that one perish? The patients did not count. He professed to do what he did in the name of science, but it was a madness on his part.”

9. Kaddish
The Aramaic (ancient Biblical language-similar to Hebrew) prayer that affirms God’s precious gift of life.
Mourners recite this prayer daily starting on the day of burial and continuing for 11 months.

10. Sonderkommando
Nazi’s established the Sonderkommando, groups of Jewish male prisoners picked for their youth and relative good health whose job was to dispose of corpses from the gas chambers or crematoria.
Some did the work to delay their own deaths; some thought they could protect friends and family, and some acted out of mere greed for extra food and money these men sometimes received. The men were forced into this position, with the only alternative being death in the gas chambers or being shot on the spot by an SS guard.
Had food, slept on straw mattresses and could wear normal clothing. Some greeted the new arrivals, telling them that they were going to shower prior to being sent to work. They were obliged to lie, telling the prisoners that after the delousing process they would be assigned to labor teams and reunited with their families. The SS carried out the gassings, and the Sonderkommandos would enter the chambers afterward, remove the bodies, process them and transport them to the crematorium.

11. Sonderkommandos
Other teams processed the corpses after the gas chambers, extracting gold teeth, and removing clothes and valuables before taking them to the crematoria for final disposal. The remains were ground to dust and mixed with the ashes. When too much ash mounted, the Sonderkommandos, under the watchful eyes of the SS, would throw them into a nearby river.
Most were eventually gassed
The Nazis also did not want any evidence of their horrific acts to remain, and therefore decided to kill those prisoners who witnessed their actions.

13. Job Book of Job in the Hebrew Bible, as well as a prophet in Islam.
He is described as a blessed man who lives righteously.
Satan, however, challenges Job's integrity,
God progressively removes his protection, allowing Satan to take Job’s wealth, children, and physical health.
Job remains loyal throughout, and does not curse God.
