When most people think of infamous serial killers, the most common names are often Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, or possibly even Ed Gein. All three of these men are notorious for their crimes, but none could possibly surpass Josef Mengele. Josef Mengele is the true embodiment of malevolence, cold heartedness, and pure evil. While Josef Mengele may not be as well known, or covered by the media, he truly surpasses most people’s idea of a serial killer. Josef Mengele was born in Bavaria, Germany, in the year 1911. His parents were named Karl and Walburga Mengele. Josef Mengele had two siblings, named Alois Mengele, and Karl Jr Mengele. Josef Mengele did not have a hard time in school growing up, and his family was well off on a monetary sense. …show more content…
As time progressed Mengele took to other horrifying experiments, such as intentional freezing, intentional burning, and internal irrigation. For the first experiment, Mengele would place his victims in extremely cold places like a frozen room with an ice bath, or simply tie them to a stretcher naked and leave them outside in the snow. This was to measure what the human body could withstand, and how to revive them. This idea of revival led to the next experiment, intentional burning. Burning was used to “reheat” the body back to normal temperatures. This caused the victims organs to rupture or simply quit functioning. The third experiment was the most cruel. Mengele would heat water to its boiling point, and then he would forcibly irrigate it into the subject’s body. The subjects internal organs would quickly shut down, and the victim was burnt alive from the inside out. The most horrifying part of all of the experiments that Mengele was conducting was that nobody was stopping him. There was no code of conduct that could cause Mengele to lose his license, and I do not believe that Hitler would have truly wanted anything other than what Mengele was already doing. This was a dark time for science, with the Nazi party constantly growing in size and constantly bringing people back to Josef Mengele to conduct his experiments on. Josef Mengele was a mission oriented serial

One of the most demented doctors of the Nazi era went by the name of Josef Mengele. This was because of the gruesome experiments he conducted on woman, men, and children. Mengele wasn't always part of the Nazi culture. In fact, a lot of people don't seem to know how he ended up living the life that he did. Mengele started his career saving lives and helping people, not destroying them. So what caused him to change his ways so drastically? How could someone find it so easy to cause somebody else so much pain and agony?
“Heinrich Himmler was born in Munich, October 7, 1900. He grew up in a staunchly middle-class,comfortable catholic german family. He had two brothers, an older brother Gebhard was born in 1898, about 2 years before Heinrich. His younger brother Ernst was born in 1905.”(Source card #2)“Himmler had graduated from a school in Landshut in July of 1919.
From this public, there was a subsection of people who did even worse things; human experimentation on the people in the concentration camps. While many of these people were doctors, and thus expected to be of high moral value, Hitler was able to fundamentally change their moral base. He convinced these folks, that experimenting would let them cure diseases and help them make the Aryan race even stronger. The Nazi’s also listed “medical science as an instrument of aggressive military power” . The experimentation they did would help the German army become stronger and win the war; since they could not fight on the front lines, these scientists put all their effort into doing human experiments because they had strong national pride and wanted to make sure Germany won. That is why they justified freezing people to death in cold water. They wanted to

The Nazis performed some of the most horrific experiments of anyone. The Auschwitz under the direction of Dr. Eduard wirths had inmates selected to certain experiments which were designed to help the Germans. The Nazis performed an experiment on twins in the camp to see if the eugenics and genetics affected their mood and or their attitude. The leader of this experiment was Dr. Josef Mengele, he has performed over 1,500 of these experiments on imprisoned twins, but there are some ups and downs about the experiment because there have only been fewer than 200 twins survived the study. The Luftwaffe conducted an experiment on how to treat hypothermia in the early 1940s. The way they conducted the experiment was they would fill a tank full of ice and water; they put the victim in it for up to three hours. During July 1942 to September 1943, some experiments would have pretty bad wounds on the subjects there would be victims infected with such as streptococcus, gas gangrene, and tetanus. The Nazis are a group that didn’t care about anyone but themselves,
