Dr. Josef Mengele was an S.S. Officer and physician at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. He selected transports of prisoners to work or go to the gas chambers by telling them to go to the left or right. Mengele took turns with this duty, with other officers. Josef Mengele was born to Karl and Walburga Mengele in Gunzburg, Bavaria, Germany on March 16, 1911. Mengele was refined, intelligent, and popular in his home-town. He joined the Nazi Party in 1937. He joined the S.S. in 1938.

Dr. Mengele is known for his medical experiments on camp inmates. He experimented on children, twins, dwarfs. gypsies, and people with physical abnormalities. His experiments included: injecting chemicals into the eyes of children, in an attempt to change the color of their eyes, various amputations, sterilizations, shock treatments, and other surgeries. Evidence of experiments comes from survivors and a Jewish doctor: Miklos Nyiszli, who worked as a pathologist. Mengele injected chloroform into the hearts of his victims (twins), so that he could do a comparison study of their internal organs. Mengele tried to find a genetic cause of the birth of twins, so that a program could be formed to double the birth rate of the 'Aryan' race. Gypsy twins were used for a large number of experiments in the field of contagious diseases, for example, typhoid and tuberculosis. He tortured Jewish and Gypsy Children. He murdered most of the twins. Mengele was called the "Angel of Death" by inmates in the camp. He introduced himself to children of whom he used in his medical experiments as: "Uncle Mengele", and offered them chocolates (sweets). He acted kindly toward the children, but the older children (twins) saw his kindness as deceiving. After the war, Dr. Mengele escaped to South America and was never caught. He died by drowning in the Atlantic Ocean in 1979, after having a stroke.
