Josef Mengele was born March 16, 1911 at Guntzburg in Germany and died on 7 février1979 Bertioga to Brazil. It was a particularly active German Nazi doctor at Auschwitz concentration camp, where he participated in the selection of gassing prisoners doomed to immediate and has delivered on many prisoners in experiments with scientific pretensions constituting crimes war. After the war he was never captured and lived for 35 years in Latin America under various pseudonyms, including that of Wolfgang Gerhard under which he was buried in 1979 in Brazil.
In 1930, he began his medical studies at the University of Munich. There he will adopt the National Socialist ideology, partly out of conviction (he hated the communist ideology) and ambition (he was aware that this will promote his career). In March 1931, he joined the organization of the Steel Helmets.
Mengele concentrated on his studies in anthropology and paleontology as well as on medicine. The therapeutic aspect of little interest. He discovered a passion for eugenics, the search for genetic causes of defects and deformities to the human development of the Germanic master race. He doted on the lectures of Dr. Ernst Rudin who will soon participate in the development the bill to the sterilization of individuals with hereditary disease. For Mengele, some lives were simply unworthy of being lived, but it was the responsibility of doctors to remove such lives to protect the superior race.
In 1935, he successfully defended his thesis focused on anthropology "Review morphology of the anterior part of the lower jaw in four racial groups. "He defended the idea that it was possible to identify the different human races by studying the jaw. His conclusions, absurd a scientific point of view, wanted to prove the" superiority "of European of the Nordic type, perfect incarnation of the Aryan race. In 1936, he passed the state examination in medicine and began practicing at the University Hospital of Leipzig.
In 1937, through recommendations, he was appointed as a research assistant at the Institute of National Socialist quest for racial purity at the University of Frankfurt. He became the assistant of Professor Otmar von Verschuer, eugenics scholar and ardent defender of the thesis of the superiority of the Germanic race. It was with an iron will he defended the thesis of his mentor. That same year he joined the Nazi party. In 1938 he received his doctorate of medicine at the University of Frankfurt. As assistant to von Verschuer, he was revising the work of other researchers. During this research, he showed a particular interest in the study of twins.
Between 1940 and 1942, he served in the Waffen SS. Wounded on the Eastern Front, he was declared medically unfit for combat. He was promoted Hauptsturmführer for his brilliant performance in combat.
In 1943, he volunteered to serve in a concentration camp. On 24 May 1943, he was transferred to Auschwitz-Birkenau to replace a sick doctor. Upon his arrival, he distinguished himself for another 23 doctors in the camp. First because he was decorated for his conduct on the forehead and liked to wear his medals for it to be known. Most importantly, he displayed an immediate lethal energy and zeal unusual. Given the epidemic of typhus that had to occur in the gypsy camp, he gave the order to send a thousand patients in the gas chamber. For this, he was awarded May 30, 1943, becoming chief physician of the camp of gypsies which all prisoners were gassed in 1944.
In the course of 1944, he became Surgeon of Birkenau. It was not, however, the Surgeon General of Auschwitz, the role of SS-Standortartz Eduard Wirths. It was during the 21 months he spent in this camp that Mengele gained his reputation and his nickname "Angel of Death".
While strapped in his SS uniform, smiling, whistling an opera, he greeted the deportees upon their arrival at the camp at Birkenau. For hours, a hand gesture, he operated the selection of prisoners. Mengele had the absolute right of life and death. He displayed an energy and an uncommon zeal to fill the gas chambers. Those he had not sent to the gas chamber, he loved this themselves. The means he uses are varied: shooting, injecting toxic chemicals (phenol, chloroform, petroleum) in the heart. His sadism and cruelty knew no bounds.
face haggard eyes of mothers, children thrown alive into the flames of a pyre. It weakened perfectly healthy young women by taking blood from several liters before sending them to the crematoria. The lame, the malformed were systematically exterminated their skeletons and sent to the Anthropology Museum in Berlin. They were an incontestable proof of the degeneration of non-Aryan races. Mengele, like all SS doctors also practiced numerous experiments. His obsession was to find the secret that would allow all German birth to twins. Putting them in separate blocks.
He examined them, measured them, killed them to dissect their bodies, without ever losing his cool smile. These experiences contributed nothing, not lead to anything but the quotas, in a kind of delirium, obsession. It was a catalog of physical traits, but was in no way a precursor of genetics.
was more like a collector of physical abnormalities. His work was funded by a grant that von Verschuer was obtained from the German Research Council. Around 1500 he formed the twin human guinea pigs. Fewer than 200 survive. The accounts of his work was regularly sent to Wihelm Kaiser Institute in Berlin.
Mengele's experiments were also on sterilization with X rays, the bone marrow transplant, the castration or sex change. He was interested in eye color with the aim of determining whether it could be changed.
In January 1945, before the approach of the Red Army, Auschwitz, Mengele left with his concubine, a young Jewish woman. He went to the camp of Gross-Rosen he left in February. In June 1945, disguised as a Wehrmacht soldier, he was arrested by the Americans in the name of Dr. Fritz Hollmann and detained in a prison camp near Nuremberg war. Although SS Mengele did not have his blood tattooed on his arm. The Americans let him go because they knew his true identity.
Between 1945 and 1951 he lived in his parents' property. Then he fled to Buenos Aires where he practiced medicine under his real name. In 1959, Mengele decided to settle in Paraguay. In 1962 he went to Brazil to work in a hospital in the State of Santa Catarina.
Relentlessly pursued by the vengeful, by Simon Wiesenthal and the German courts, in turn install Mengele in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay at the option circumstances. He died in 1979. In 1992, genetic tests on his bones proved his identity.
