...million died. Death was caused by starvation, people becoming too weak that they were unfit and were killed off, and being hung due to insubordination. Medical experiments on the prisoners also resulted in death. Dr. Mengele, the man who had done taboo medical experiments on prisoners. This is the life of Josef Mengele from his life as a young individual, to becoming a very well known “doctor”, to becoming a wanted victim. This is the Angel of Death. Born on March 16, 1911 in Gunzburg , Josef Mengele was the oldest son of Karl Mengele. He lived in an upper middle class family which ran a machine tool business. His family was described as a “Strict Catholic” family. His peers in the town he lived in would describe Mengele as an intelligent and popular person. “A young person with intelligence but more or less ordinary” were the words of description from a close relative. From a very young age Josef Mengele was interested in the racial theories of Alfred Rosenberp, a philosopher of National Socialism. In 1935 Mengele graduated from the University of Munich with a Ph. D in physical anthropology. After graduating he got into believing racism towards Jews.

...other side, lay instant death in the gas chambers. The frightening figure making this decision was, frequently, Josef Mengele, one of the doctors assigned to Auschwitz. It is now apparent that he must have started young and tortured animals when he was much younger in age. During WWII, the holocaust heavily impacted millions of lives, especially the people who were brutally experimented on by Dr. Joseph Mengele, who was not a simple human being. Many died and those who survived lived their painful lives with severe medical problems. The Angel of Death was created when he went to the University of Frankfurt to study medicine and then went to the army. Both of which were an extremely important part in his sadistic experiments hence the medical background and the love for “Nazism. After the war, Mengele was so scared of all the bad things he had done as well as his experiments that he fled Germany after they lost?? What Joseph Mengele did at Auschwitz, left his victims scarred both physically and mentally. Dr. Joseph Mengele was brought to this earth by Karl and Walburga Mengele in the Bavarian village of Gunzburg. He was the oldest of three children and was followed by his two younger brothers. From all accounts Karl Mengele was a harsh and distant man, one whose main concern in life was the pursuit of his fortune. Karl had a factory that manufactured and made farm tools and equipment. He was never at home since he was too busy at work so Walburga Mengele ruled this household...

...At Auschwitz Eduard Wirths was in charge of a team of doctors doing these human experiments. Also at Mauthausen Aribert Heim conducted experiments and earned the name Dr.Death. Nazi’s used these prisoners as a resource for experiments to torture and test the limits of the human body. (2) One of the Doctors under the direction of Wirths at Auschwitz was doctor Josef Mengele. Josef Mengele was nicknamed the “Angel of Death” for his role in the concentration camp. (1) Mengele was very interested in the prospects of twin experiments such to find out the origins of genetic diseases and also to see if they were connected in more ways than just by birth. (4) Most of the experiments done by Mengele were lethal and yielded little results he also prefered to use young subjects for his experiments, which is especially chilling. Another interesting fact about Dr.Mengele is that he was infatuated with differing the color of iris’s in the eyes of prisioners and even kept a collection of eyes to experiment on. (1)...

...these experiments is to condone and legitimize what these boors did in the name of medicine. Nazi doctors performed numerous series of contentious medical experiments on unwilling prisoners in concentration camps. The well being of the patient was in no way considered, and most experiments resulted in death, disability or permanent disfigurement. The doctors behind these brutalities justified their actions as medical research, as they were trying to discover ways to treat injured German soldiers, infertility in the “Aryan race”, mass sterilization techniques, and more. Aside from the experiments, physicians also began a systematic euthanasia program, in which they would murder the mentally ill, homosexuals, the disabled and anyone else they deemed unworthy of life. Luftwaffe was the aerial warfare branch of the German Wehrmacht and called for more effective treatments of hypothermia. At Dachau concentration camp, Dr. Ernst Holzlohner and Dr. Sigmund Rascher conducted a series of experiments exploring how temperature change affects the body to try to find a solution for the Luftwaffe. The experiments were meant to first establish how long lowering the body temperature to death would take, and then find how to best revive the frozen patient. In one study, victims were submerged in a tank of freezing water for up to three hours at a time. Most victims were healthy, young Jews selected by the doctors. They were stripped naked and prepared by the insertion of an insulated probe into...

...property; the destruction of cities and towns. The third: crimes against humanity, which include persecution on racial, political, or religious grounds either before or during a war. All of these violations were raised on Germany's actions. Trials of the Nazi leaders begun on October 18, 1945, and lasted for 10 months. Trials of Japanese leaders began on May 3, 1946 in Tokyo and ended on November 12, 1948. There were more than 2,000 lesser trials accusing Nazi leaders of wrong doing. Even more took place in the Soviet Union. Most of the war criminals were convicted, and many were also executed. The Nuremberg Trials, one of the more substantial trials, accused 22 German Nazi leaders of war crimes. Altogether 12 were sentenced to death, including Keitel, Ribbentrop, Rosenberg, Bromann (who was tried in absentia), and Goering (who committed suicide). Only three, including Hess were given life sentences. Just four, including Doenitz and Speer were sentenced to up to 20 years of prison. Amazingly, three including Papen and Schacht were acquitted. These trials brought some anger and sadness. The prosecution took almost four months to present their case to the jury. Each man who was being tried was a major part of the whole Nazi power. Albert Speer (1905-81) was a German architect and public official who became Hitler's number one architect. Albert devised a system of slave labor which showed in the concentration camps. Albert served 20 years in prison....

...“The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it.” This is a quote from Josef Mengele, a doctor who performed medical experiments during the Holocaust. When the true extent of the Holocaust was found out many people didn't want to believe that it was true, especially the medical experiments. Even today, citizens don’t truly know what these “medical procedures” entailed. The Nazi medical experiments were one of the worst monstrosities that took place during the Holocaust. The National Socialist German Workers' Party medical experiments were classified in three different groups; each one to help the Nazis win World War II. The first category was “War Efforts”. Many German soldiers would die from hypothermia, altitude sickness,...

...THHS Rachel Kupferberg, Rachel Maschler AP Literature-Band 6 May 1, 2011 Major Works Data Sheet- Night Title: Night Author: Elie Wiesel Date of Publication: 1958 Genre: autobiography, memoir Historical information about period of publication: World War II, and the Holocaust, ended in April 1945 when the liberating Allied armies came through the conquered territories in Nazi Europe. Night describes 16 year old Elie’s loss of faith in God, humanity, family and morality in general. Elie, therefore, vowed to not speak of his experience in Auschwitz, Buna or Buchenwald (or any event between 1943 and 1945, from the beginning of the occupation of Hungary to Germany’s liberation in 1945) for ten years, until he had time to internalize this dramatic loss, and regain his faith and possession of his memory and life. In 1954, after realizing that even less than ten years after the end of the Holocaust, the world was already forgetting and Jews were abandoning their roots, the time had come to testify and justify to the world that Hitler had not succeeded. Biographical Information about the author: Eliezer “Elie” Wiesel was born on September 30, 1928 in Sighet Romania, where his memoir Night begins. In his childhood (up to the Nazi occupation of Romania) his father encouraged his study of the Torah, other Judaic texts and other literary works. As described in the beginning of Night, Elie was also curious about the realm of Kabbalah, Jewish...

This was the first thing many Jews in the 1940’s saw as the banner above the gates of the place they’d likely die read. (Wachsmann) German soldiers fed Jews false hope, thinking that the harder they worked the closer freedom would be when in reality freedom could only come with death. The world changed forever when an estimated 20,946,000 people died due to the world war ignited by Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. The Third Reich was the name for Nazi Germany under Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) when it was a totalitarian state. Totalitarianism is a political system where the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever necessary. (Dictionary) Soldiers were killed in battle, Civilians in cross fire, and by starvation but nothing compares to the systematic execution and elimination demonstrated by the Third Reich sponsored death camps. Before the organized concentration camps that are well known throughout the world to have killed a countless number of people there were camps built in the early 1930’s when the Nazi’s first came into power. Earlier camps were temporary and were set up to confine, interrogate, torture, and weaken...

...Bloodlines of Illuminati by: Fritz Springmeier, 1995 Introduction: I am pleased & honored to present this book to those in the world who love the truth. This is a book for lovers of the Truth. This is a book for those who are already familiar with my past writings. An Illuminati Grand Master once said that the world is a stage and we are all actors. Of course this was not an original thought, but it certainly is a way of describing the Illuminati view of how the world works. The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda. Just one of the thousands of recent examples of this type of acting done for the public was President Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union address. The speech was designed to push all of the warm fuzzy buttons of his listening audience that he could. All the green lights for acceptance were systematically pushed by the President’s speech with the help of a controlled congressional audience. The truth on the other hand doesn’t always tickle the ear and warm the ego of its listeners. The light of truth in this book will be too bright for some people who will want to return to the safe comfort of their darkness. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I deal with real facts, not theory. Some of the people I write about, I have met. Some of the people I expose are alive and very dangerous. The darkness has never liked the light. Yet, many of the secrets of the Illuminati are locked up tightly simply because secrecy is a way...
