Now many are wondering whether Josef Mengele was a simple sadist, who, in addition to scientific work, it was a pleasure to watch people suffer. Those who worked with him said that Mengele, to the surprise of many of his colleagues, sometimes himself administered lethal injections to test subjects, beat them and threw capsules of lethal gas into the cells, watching as prisoners died.
On the territory of the Auschwitz concentration camp there is a large pond where the unclaimed ashes of prisoners burned in the crematorium ovens were dumped. The rest of the ashes were transported by wagon to Germany, where they were used as soil fertilizers. The same carriages carried new prisoners for Auschwitz, who were personally greeted upon arrival by a tall, smiling young man who was barely 32 years old. It was new doctor Auschwitz Joseph Mengele, after being wounded, was declared unfit for service in the army. He appeared with his retinue in front of newly arrived prisoners to select “material” for his monstrous experiments. The prisoners were stripped naked and lined up along which Mengele walked, every now and then pointing at suitable people its immutable stack
ohm He decided who would be immediately sent to the gas chamber, and who could still work for the benefit of the Third Reich. Death is to the left, life is to the right. Sickly-looking people, old people, women with infants - Mengele, as a rule, sent them to the left with a careless movement of a stack squeezed in his hand.
Former prisoners, when they first arrived at the station to enter the concentration camp, remembered Mengele as smart, well-groomed man with a kind smile, in a well-fitted and ironed dark green tunic and a cap, which he wore slightly askew; black boots polished to perfect shine. One of the Auschwitz prisoners, Kristina Zywulska, would later write: “He looked like a film actor - a sleek, pleasant face with regular features. Tall, slender...”
His smile and pleasant, courteous manners, which did not fit in with his inhuman experiences, were nicknamed Mengele by the prisoners as the “Angel of Death.” He conducted his experiments on people in block No. 10. “No one ever came out of there alive,” says former prisoner Igor Fedorovich Malitsky, who was sent to Auschwitz at the age of 16.
The young doctor began his activities in Auschwitz by stopping a typhus epidemic, which he discovered in several gypsies. To prevent the disease from spreading to other prisoners, he sent the entire barracks (more than a thousand people) to the gas chamber. Later, typhus was discovered in the women's barracks, and this time the entire barracks - about 600 women - also went to their deaths. How to fight typhus differently in such conditions, Mengel
I couldn't think of it.
Before the war, Joseph Mengele studied medicine and even defended his dissertation on “Racial differences in the structure of the lower jaw” in 1935, and a little later received his doctorate. Genetics was of particular interest to him, and at Auschwitz he showed the greatest degree of interest in twins. He conducted experiments without resorting to anesthetics and dissected living babies. He tried to sew twins together, change their eye color using chemicals; he pulled out teeth, implanted them and built up new ones. In parallel with this, the development of a substance capable of causing infertility was carried out; he castrated boys and sterilized women. According to some reports, he succeeded with the help x-ray radiation sterilize a whole group of monks
Mengele's interest in twins was not accidental. The Third Reich set scientists the task of increasing the birth rate, as a result of which artificially increasing the birth of twins and triplets became the main task of scientists. However, the offspring of the Aryan race had to have blond hair and blue eyes - hence Mengele's attempts to change the eye color of children through various chemicals. After the war, he was going to become a professor and was ready to do anything for the sake of science.
The twins were carefully measured by the assistants of the "Angel of Death" to record general signs and differences, and then the doctor’s own experiments came into play. Children had their limbs amputated and various organs were transplanted, they were infected with typhus, and they received blood transfusions. Mengele wanted to track
to understand how the identical organisms of twins will react to the same intervention in them. Then the experimental subjects were killed, after which the doctor carried out a thorough analysis of the corpses, examining internal organs.
He launched quite a vigorous activity and therefore many mistakenly considered him the chief doctor of the concentration camp. In fact, Josef Mengele held the position of senior doctor in the women's barracks, to which he was appointed by Eduard Virts - chief physician Auschwitz, later described by Mengele as a responsible employee who sacrificed personal time to devote it to self-education, exploring the material that the concentration camp had.
Mengele and his colleagues believed that hungry children had very pure blood, which meant that they could
It will greatly help wounded German soldiers in hospitals. Another former prisoner of Auschwitz, Ivan Vasilyevich Chuprin, recalled this. The newly arrived very young children, the eldest of whom were 5-6 years old, were herded into block number 19, from which screams and crying could be heard for some time, but soon there was silence. The blood was completely pumped out of the young prisoners. And in the evening, prisoners returning from work saw piles of children's bodies, which were later burned in dug holes, the flames from which were escaping several meters upward.
For Mengele, work in the concentration camp was a kind of scientific mission, and the experiments he performed on prisoners were, from his point of view, carried out for the benefit of science. There are many tales told about Dr. Death
and one of them is that his office was “decorated” by the eyes of children. In fact, as one of the doctors who worked with Mengele in Auschwitz recalled, he could stand for hours next to a row of test tubes, examining the obtained materials through a microscope, or spend time at the anatomical table, opening up bodies, in an apron stained with blood. He considered himself a real scientist, whose goal was something more than eyes hung throughout his office.
The doctors who worked with Mengele noted that they hated their work, and in order to somehow relieve stress, they got completely drunk after a working day, which could not be said about Doctor “Death” himself. It seemed that the work did not tire him at all.
Now many are wondering if Joseph Mengele was a simple sadist, a cat
In addition to his scientific work, he took pleasure in watching people suffer. Those who worked with him said that Mengele, to the surprise of many of his colleagues, sometimes himself administered lethal injections to test subjects, beat them and threw capsules of lethal gas into the cells, watching as prisoners died.
After the war, Josef Mengele was declared a war criminal, but he managed to escape. He spent the rest of his life in Brazil, and February 7, 1979 was his last day - while swimming he suffered a stroke and drowned. His grave was found only in 1985, and after the exhumation of his remains in 1992, they were finally convinced that it was Joseph Mengele, who had earned himself a reputation as one of the most terrible and dangerous Nazis, who lay in this grave.
Every time the train delivered new prisoners to Auschwitz, and those, exhausted by the road and endless hardships, lined up, the tall, stately figure of Joseph Mengele rose in front of the prisoners.
Every time the train delivered new prisoners to Auschwitz and those, exhausted by the road and endless hardships, lined up, the tall, stately figure of Josef Mengele appeared in front of the prisoners.
There is a smile on his face, he was always in good location spirit. Neat, well-groomed, wearing white gloves, a perfectly ironed uniform and shiny boots. Mengele hummed an operetta to himself and decided the destinies of people. Just think: so many lives - and all were in HIS hands. Like a conductor with a baton, he waved his hand with a whip: right - left, right - left. He created his own symphony, unknown to anyone: the symphony of death. Those sent to the right faced a painful death in the cells of Auschwitz. And only 10-30 percent of those who arrived were given the opportunity to work in production and live... for the time being.
However, for those “lucky” ones who ended up in the queue “to the left”, something more terrible than gas chambers awaited them. Hard slave labor and hunger are just the beginning. Each of the prisoners risked falling under the scalpel of the smiling Doctor Mengele, who conducted inhumane experiments on people. The “guinea pigs” of the Angel of Death (as Anne Frank called Mengele in her diary)… what did they experience?
This may be interesting to you
There are stories about Josef Mengele's experiments that make the hairs on the back of any compassionate person's neck stand out. No Wikipedia will convey the cruelty and pain to which Dr. Mengele subjected the prisoners. Castration and sterilization of people, testing endurance with cold, temperature, pressure, radiation, implantation of dangerous viruses and much, much more. It is noteworthy that all experiments were carried out on prisoners without anesthetics. Many “test subjects” were even dissected while still alive. The worst of it was the twins, for whom the Angel of Death had a special weakness (but more on that later). There is even a myth that Dr. Mengele’s office was hung with children’s eyes. But this is just one of the popular legends that this mystical and terrible figure has acquired over time.
Who is he, Dr. Mengele? Researchers talk about what they found literary works, including the memoirs of the Angel of Death. He was very gifted and a genius in his own way. Evil genius. Today we will look at the personality of Joseph Mengele from the point of view of system-vector psychology and try to find the reasons why such monsters appear in the world.
Background. Fascist Germany
Philosophers of the 18th century wrote that a person is determined by the environment in which he grows and is brought up. This statement shows its truthfulness in practice: after all, it is what is put into our heads from childhood that largely determines what we will become in the future. Josef Mengele was born and raised in Nazi Germany. The ideas of fascism had a huge influence on him.
Let us take a closer look at what moods of that time left an indelible mark on the personality of Doctor Death.
The idea of blood purity, the desire to revive the so-called Aryan race - all this particularly gripped Germany in the 1930s. The birth rate in Germany was falling, the mortality rate of children was rising, and it was not so rare that sick children with certain defects were born. At the same time, a large number of people of other nationalities living in Germany (Jews, Gypsies, Slavs) posed a “threat” of incest for those with the anal vector. All this made the fascists afraid of the possible degeneration of the Aryan race - the very one that, according to Hitler, was destined to become the chosen one.
The very idea of fascism is a product of the anal vector, elevated to an ideology for the masses with the help of a sound vector. After all, it is the carriers of the anal vector who differentiate everything into “clean” and “dirty.” “Pure”, in their minds, is healthy, correct, ideal. “Dirty” carries all sorts of defects, therefore blindness, deafness, schizophrenia, in the opinion of such people, arise due to the admixture of “dirty”, “unhealthy” blood of other nationalities. The only way out for the revival of “pure blood” is the destruction of all “stains”: people of other nationalities and their “offspring” - unhealthy children. The sound doesn't care human lives. The idea is above all. Whether this idea will harm or benefit humanity depends on the state of the sound.
To ensure the "Aryan revival", extreme measures were taken. Firstly, all representatives of “dirty blood” were persecuted and sent to camps. Incest with representatives of other nationalities was not only discouraged, but also punished. Each SS member had to produce his and his wife's pedigree to prove the purity and nobility of their family. Every German had to go through such a process, so the facts of the presence of representatives of “dirty blood” in the family were hidden in every possible way. People were afraid to be among those sent to camps.
In 1933, the issue of racial politics came to a head. Interior Minister Wilhelm Frick pointed to the problem of low birth rates. German women gave birth little, which had a detrimental effect on the prosperity of the state. The decline of the family was noted - the influence of liberals and democrats. This is how new legislation on marriage and family was prepared (authors: Heinrich Himmler and Martin Bormann). The Nazis proceeded from the fact that many men would die during the war, and the women of Germany were entrusted with a responsible mission: to give birth to as many healthy children as possible. From now on, every German woman under 35 years of age must have time to give birth to four children from purebred men, and physically and mentally healthy men were allowed to take not one, but two wives. more women. The goal is to increase the birth rate. As a rule, holders of the highest awards were given this right.
"Everyone is married or unmarried women, if they do not have four children, are obliged to give birth to these children from racially impeccable German men before reaching the age of thirty-five. Whether these men are married or not does not matter."- wrote Himmler, who proposed forcibly dissolving marriages where no new children had appeared for five years. Moreover, all women over 35 who already have four children were required to voluntarily let their husband go to another woman.
But, unfortunately, not all children were and are born healthy. Newborns with physical and mental disabilities, as well as weak children, according to the ideologists of fascism, were not needed by the country, as they destroyed the gene pool. The ideological inspirer and leader of the fascists, Hitler, believed that the Aryans are an impeccable nation of strong and healthy people, therefore the weak, frail, and sick must be exterminated. “If a million children were born in Germany every year and seven hundred to eight hundred thousand of the weakest were immediately destroyed, the end result would be a strengthening of the nation.”- said Hitler. Systematically, one can understand the absurdity and wildness of this statement, since nature will always restore the balance it needs (20% of anal people, 24% of skin people, 5% of spectators, etc.).
Thus, a law was passed to prevent the appearance of offspring with unhealthy heredity. It was proposed to sterilize unhealthy people if there was a danger that the disease could be inherited. These were primarily people with schizophrenia, blindness and deafness. That is why, at the request of the state, propaganda videos were created that talked about natural selection: how nature itself created the law when the fittest survives. It was also planned to introduce euthanasia for weak and sick children.
The main goal facing anthropologists and doctors was the creation of an ideal nation. A special science also appeared - eugenics - which dealt with the issue of the revival of the Aryan race. The country was waiting for its “hero doctors”, captured by fascist ideas, and waited - Joseph Mengele, Doctor Death, appeared, obsessed with the idea of a pure race so much that he was ready to break the Hippocratic oath and any known to every person ethical standards and installations.
Josef Mengele's childhood
Josef Mengele was born in Günzburg. He was the second son in the family of a successful manager of an agricultural machinery factory.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient facts, we can only determine the lower vectors of the parents. The father, according to the memoirs of Josef Mengele himself, was a cold, detached man, obsessed with work and not paying any attention to his children. Karl Mengele is an anal-skin man who has achieved significant heights. It was at his factory that Hitler spoke when he first arrived in Günzburg, and it was to this factory that the Fuhrer allocated significant material resources during the war.
Walburga Mengele's mother is an anal-cutaneous-muscular powerful person with sadistic tendencies. She was a cruel, despotic woman, extremely demanding. All the factory workers feared her like fire, because she was very hot-tempered and explosive: she often flogged workers in public for work that was not done well enough. No one wanted Walburga's wrath to fall on their head, so everyone was wary of her.
Mengele's mother also showed her dictatorial nature in the family. She was the sole mistress to whom all other family members, including her husband, were subordinate. Walburga demanded from her sons everything that parents with an anal vector often demand from their children: unquestioning obedience and respect, diligent study at school, observance of Catholic rites and traditions. Respect, obedience, adherence to traditions - all these are the main values of any anal person. Karl Mengele, like everyone else, was afraid of the wrath of his wife, who nagged him for any reason.
The story is described of how Karl Mengele once bought new car in honor of the increase in profits of his factory, for which thunder and lightning were rained down on him by Walburga: she was angry and scolded her husband for wasting money unwisely and for not asking permission from his wife.
Joseph Mengele himself in his memoirs described his mother as a creature incapable of love and affection. The early childhood impressions of the future Angel of Death are directly related to the constant quarrels between father and mother and the cold attitude of both parents towards their children. This undoubtedly left its mark on Joseph’s consciousness and was one of those pieces that made up the personality of Doctor Death, because the grievances of the owners of the anal vector very often begin with.
Actually Joseph Mengele himself
So, the “Angel of Death” had the following set of vectors:
The article was written based on training materials “ System-vector psychology»Among all the Nazi criminals from the Third Reich, one stands out in particular, who, perhaps, even among the most vile murderers and vile sadists, rightfully takes the place of the most vile of the vile. Some of the Nazis can, albeit with great stretch, be classified as lost sheep who turned into wolves. Others take their place as ideological criminals. But this one... This one did his dirty work with obvious pleasure, even with pleasure, satisfying his basest, wildest desires. This complexed, sick creature combined Nazi ideas with obvious mental disorders and earned the nickname “Doctor Death.” Sometimes, however, he was called almost the “angel of death.” But this is too flattering a nickname for him. We are talking about the so-called Dr. Josef Mengele, the executioner from Auschwitz, who miraculously escaped human trial, but, it seems, only to await a higher trial.
Joseph Mengele received Nazi training from childhood. The fact is that he, born in 1911 in Günzburg, Bavaria, was the son of the founder of an agricultural equipment company, Karl Mengele. The company was called “Karl Mengele and Sons” (Joseph had two brothers - Karl and Alois). Naturally, the prosperity of the company depended on how the farmers felt. Farmers, like, in fact, millions of other Germans, after the defeat of Germany in the First World War and the most severe political and economic sanctions imposed against it, as they would say now, did not feel well. And it is not surprising that when Hitler came to power with his Nazi party and his unbridled populism, who promised mountains of gold to shopkeepers and the average bourgeoisie, seeing his electoral base in them, Karl Mengele supported the Nazis with all his heart and part of his wallet. So the son was brought up in “appropriate” conditions.
Misanthropic dissertation
By the way, Joseph Mengele did not immediately go to study medicine (yes, he refused to continue his father’s work, apparently, from a young age he was drawn to experiments on people), no. First, he plunged into the activities of the right-wing conservative-monarchist organization "Steel Helmet", which had two wings - political and military. However, many political organizations in Germany in those years had their own militants on hand. Including communists. Later, namely in 1933, the “Steel Helmet” successfully joined the terrible SA (the organization of Nazi stormtroopers). But something went wrong. Perhaps Mengele sensed what the matter smelled like (the SA was subsequently virtually destroyed by Hitler, and the leadership led by Rehm was destroyed - such was the internal Nazi competition). Or maybe, as the biographers of this fiend of hell claim, he actually developed health problems. Josef left the Steel Helm and went to study medicine. By the way, about passions and ideology. The topic of Mengele's doctoral dissertation was “Racial differences in the structure of the lower jaw.” So it was originally still that “scientist”.
The usual path of an ideological Nazi
Then Mengele did everything that a “righteous” Nazi was supposed to do. He joined, of course, the NSDAP. He didn't stop there. Became a member of the SS. Then he even ended up in the SS Viking tank division. Well, like in a tank division. Of course, Mengele was not sitting in the tank. He was a doctor in the sapper battalion of this division and even received the Iron Cross. Reportedly for saving two tank crews who were pulled out of a burning tank. The war, or rather its active, risky phase, ended for Mengele already in 1942. He was wounded on eastern front. He received treatment for a long time, but became unfit for service at the front. But they found him a “job,” as they say, “to his liking.” The one to which he had been heading his entire adult life. Pure executioner work. In May 1943 he became a "doctor" at Auschwitz. In the so-called “gypsy camp”. This is exactly what they say: they let the wolf into the sheepfold.
Concentration camp career
But Mengele remained a simple “doctor” for only a little over a year. At the end of the summer of 1944, he was appointed "chief doctor" at Birkenau (Auschwitz was the whole system camps, and Birkenau is the so-called inner camp). By the way, Mengele was transferred to Birkenau after the “gypsy camp” was closed. At the same time, all its inhabitants were simply taken and burned in gas chambers. In the new place, Mengele went wild. He personally met trains with arriving prisoners and decided who would go to work, who would go straight to the gas chambers, and who would go to experiments.
Hell of an experimenter
We will not describe in detail exactly how Mengele abused the prisoners. This is all too disgusting and inhumane. Let us present only a few facts to clarify for the reader its direction, so to speak, “ scientific experiments" And this educated barbarian believed, yes, believed that he was engaged in “science.” And for the sake of this very “science” people can be subjected to any torture and bullying. It is clear that there was no smell of science there.
It smelled, as mentioned above, of this bastard’s complexes creeping out, of his personal sadistic inclinations, which he satisfied under the guise of scientific necessity.
What did Mengele do?
It is clear that he had no shortage of “test subjects”. And that's why he didn't regret" consumables“What he considered the prisoners who fell into his clutches. Even the survivors of his terrible experiments were then killed. But this bastard was sorry for the painkillers, which, of course, were necessary for the “great German army.” And he carried out all his experiments on living people, including amputations and even dissections (!) of prisoners without anesthesia. It was especially hard on the twins. The sadist had a special interest in them. He carefully looked for them among the prisoners and dragged them to his torture chamber. And, for example, he sewed two together, trying to make one out of them. He sprayed chemicals into the eyes of children, allegedly looking for a way to change the color of the iris of the eyes. He, you see, was researching female endurance. And to do this, I passed a high voltage current through them. Or, here is the famous case when Mengele sterilized an entire group of Polish Catholic nuns. Do you know how? Using X-rays. It must be said that for Mengele all the camp prisoners were “subhumans.”
But it was the gypsies and Jews who received the most attention. However, let's stop depicting these “experiments”. Just believe that this was truly a monster of the human race.
Gray "rat trails"
Some of the readers probably know what “rat trails” are. This is what American intelligence agencies called the escape routes of Nazi criminals they identified after defeat in the war, in order to avoid prosecution and punishment for their atrocities. Evil tongues claim that these same American intelligence services themselves subsequently used “rat trails” to lead the Nazis out of attack and then use them for their own purposes. Many of the Nazis fled to Latin American countries.
One of the most famous “rat trails” is the one created by the famous ODESSA network, the brainchild of Otto Skorzeny himself. True, his involvement in this has not been proven. But it's not that important. The important thing is that thanks to precisely this “rat trail” he escaped to South America and Joseph Mengele.
Hello Argentina
As we now know, Mengele really, like a rat, sensed the imminent sinking of the already leaky ship called the “Third Reich.” And of course, he understood that if he fell into the hands of the Soviet investigative authorities, he would not get away with it and would answer for everything to the fullest extent. Therefore, he fled closer to the Western allies of the USSR. This was in April 1945. He, dressed in a soldier's uniform, was detained. However, then a strange thing happened. Allegedly, Western specialists were unable to establish his real identity and... released him on all four sides. It’s hard to believe. Rather, the conclusion suggests itself about the deliberate removal of the sadist from trial. Although the general confusion at the end of the war could have played a role. Be that as it may, Mengele, after spending three years in Bavaria, fled along the “rat trail” to Argentina.
Escape from Mossad
We will not describe in detail the life of a Nazi criminal in Argentina. Let's just say that one day he almost fell into the hands of the famous Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal and Mossad agents.
They followed his trail. But at the same time they were on the trail of the main Nazi “specialist in the final solution of the Jewish question” Adolf Eichmann. Trying to capture both at the same time was extremely risky.
And the Mossad settled on Eichmann, leaving Mengele for later. However, after Israeli intelligence literally kidnapped Eichmann from Buenos Aires, Mengele understood everything and quickly fled the city. First to Paraguay and then to Brazil.
The disease took revenge
It must be said that the Mossad was close several times to discovering and capturing Mengele, but something went wrong. So the famous sadist lived in Brazil until 1979. And then... One day he went swimming in the ocean. While taking ocean baths, he suffered a stroke. And Mengele drowned. It was only in 1985 that his grave was found. Only in 1992 were researchers finally convinced that the remains belonged to Mengele. After death, the Nazi and sadist still had to serve people. And, by the way, precisely in the scientific field. His remains serve as scientific material for Faculty of Medicine University of Sao Paulo.
German doctor Joseph Mengele is known in world history as the most brutal Nazi criminal, who subjected tens of thousands of prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp to inhumane experiments.
For his crimes against humanity, Mengele forever earned the nickname “Doctor Death.”
Origin
Josef Mengele was born in 1911 in Bavaria, in Günzburg. The ancestors of the future fascist executioner were ordinary German farmers. Father Karl founded the agricultural equipment company Karl Mengele and Sons. The mother was raising three children. When Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power, the wealthy Mengele family began to actively support him. Hitler defended the interests of the very farmers on whom the well-being of this family depended.
Joseph did not intend to continue his father’s work and went to study to become a doctor. Studied at the universities of Vienna and Munich. In 1932, he joined the ranks of the Nazi Steel Helmet stormtroopers, but soon left this organization due to health problems. After graduating from university, Mengele received a doctorate. He wrote his dissertation on the topic of racial differences in the structure of the jaw.
Military service and professional activities
In 1938, Mengele joined the ranks of the SS and at the same time the Nazi Party. At the beginning of the war, he joined the reserve forces of the SS Panzer Division, rose to the rank of SS Hauptsturmführer and received the Iron Cross for saving 2 soldiers from a burning tank. After being wounded in 1942, he was declared unfit for further service in the active forces and went to “work” in Auschwitz.
In the concentration camp, he decided to realize his long-time dream of becoming an outstanding doctor and research scientist. Mengele calmly justified Hitler's sadistic views with scientific expediency: he believed that if inhuman cruelty is needed for the development of science and the breeding of a “pure race,” then it can be forgiven. This point of view translated into thousands of damaged lives and even more deaths.
In Auschwitz, Mengele found the most fertile ground for his experiments. The SS not only did not control, but even encouraged the most extreme forms of sadism. In addition, the killing of thousands of Gypsies, Jews and other people of the “wrong” nationality was the primary task of the concentration camp. Thus, Mengele found himself in the hands of a huge amount of “human material” that was supposed to be used up. "Doctor Death" could do whatever he wanted. And he created.
"Doctor Death" experiments
Josef Mengele conducted thousands of monstrous experiments over the years of his activity. He amputated body parts and internal organs without anesthesia, sewed twins together, and injected toxic chemicals into children's eyes to see if the color of the iris would change after that. Prisoners were deliberately infected with smallpox, tuberculosis and other diseases. All new and untested medications, chemicals, poisons and poisonous gases were tested on them.
Mengele was most interested in various developmental anomalies. A huge number of experiments were carried out on dwarfs and twins. Of the latter, about 1,500 couples were subjected to his brutal experiments. About 200 people survived.
All operations on fusion of people, removal and transplantation of organs were performed without anesthesia. The Nazis did not consider it advisable to spend expensive medicines on “subhumans.” Even if the patient survived the experience, he was expected to be destroyed. In many cases, the autopsy was performed at a time when the person was still alive and felt everything.
After the war
After Hitler’s defeat, “Doctor Death,” realizing that execution awaited him, tried with all his might to escape persecution. In 1945, he was detained in the uniform of a private near Nuremberg, but then released because they could not establish his identity. After this, Mengele hid for 35 years in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. All this time, the Israeli intelligence service MOSSAD was looking for him and was close to capturing him several times.
It was never possible to arrest the cunning Nazi. His grave was discovered in Brazil in 1985. In 1992, the body was exhumed and proved that it belonged to Josef Mengele. Now the remains of the sadistic doctor are in medical university Sao Paulo.
The “death factory” of Auschwitz (Auschwitz) acquired more and more terrible fame. If in the remaining concentration camps there was at least some hope of survival, then most of the Jews, Gypsies and Slavs staying in Auschwitz were destined to die either in gas chambers, or from backbreaking labor and serious illnesses, or from the experiments of a sinister doctor who was one one of the first persons meeting new arrivals at the train. It was the Auschwitz concentration camp that gained notoriety as a place where experiments were carried out on people.
Mengele was appointed chief physician in Birkenau - in the inner camp of Auschwitz, where he behaved clearly as the chief. His skin ambitions gave him no rest. Only here, in a place where people do not have the slightest hope of salvation, could he feel like the master of fate.
Participation in the selection was one of his favorite “entertainment”. He always came to the train, even when it was not required of him. Constantly looking perfect (as befits the owner of the anal vector), smiling, happy, he decided who would die now and who would go to work.
It was difficult to deceive his keen analytical eye: Mengele always accurately saw the age and state of health of people. Many women, children under 15 and old people were immediately sent to the gas chambers. Only 30 percent of prisoners were lucky enough to avoid this fate and temporarily delay the date of their death.
Chief physician of Birkenau (one of the inner camps of Auschwitz) and head of the research laboratory, Dr. Josef Mengele.
First days in Auschwitz
Joseph Mengele thirsted for power over people's destinies. It is not surprising that Auschwitz became a real paradise for the Doctor, who was capable of exterminating hundreds of thousands of defenseless people at a time, which he demonstrated in the very first days of work at the new place, when he ordered the extermination of 200 thousand Gypsies.
“On the night of July 31, 1944, a terrible scene of the destruction of a gypsy camp took place. Kneeling before Mengele and Boger, women and children begged for their life. But it didn't help. They were brutally beaten and forced into trucks. It was a terrible, terrible sight.", - say surviving eyewitnesses.
Human life has assigned nothing to the Angel of Death. All of Mengele's actions were drastic and merciless. Is there a typhus epidemic in the barracks? This means we will send the entire barracks to the gas chambers. This the best remedy stop the disease. Do the women have lice in the barracks? Kill all 750 women! Just think: one thousand more unwanted people, one less.
He chose who to live and who to die, who to sterilize, who to operate on... Dr. Mengele did not just feel equal to God. He put himself in God's place. A typical crazy idea in a sick sound vector, which, against the backdrop of the sadism of the anal vector, resulted in the idea of wiping unwanted peoples from the face of the earth and creating a new noble Aryan race.
All experiments of the Angel of Death boiled down to two main tasks: to find effective way, which can influence the reduction in the birth rate of unwanted races, and by all means increase the birth rate of Aryan healthy children. Just imagine how much pleasure it brought him to be in that place that other people preferred not to remember at all.
The head of the labor service of the women's block of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp - Irma Grese and his commandant SS Hauptsturmführer (Captain) Joseph Kramer under British escort in the courtyard of the prison in Celle, Germany.
Mengele had his own associates and followers. One of them was Irma Grese - anal-cutaneous-muscular sound artist, a sadist with a sick sound, working as a guard in the women's block. The girl took pleasure in tormenting the prisoners; she could take the lives of prisoners only because she was in a bad mood.
Josef Mengele's first task to reduce the birth rate of Jews, Slavs and Gypsies was to develop the most effective method sterilization for men and women. So he operated on boys and men without anesthesia, and exposed women to x-rays...
The opportunity to conduct experiments on innocent people freed up the Doctor's sadistic frustrations: he seemed to derive pleasure not so much from the sonic search for truth as from the inhumane treatment of prisoners. Mengele studied the possibilities of human endurance: he subjected the unfortunate to the test of cold, heat, various infections...
However, medicine itself did not seem so interesting to the Angel of Death, in contrast to his favorite eugenics - the science of creating a “pure race”.

Eugenics, if you look at encyclopedias, is the doctrine of human selection, i.e. a science that seeks to improve the properties of heredity. Scientists making discoveries in eugenics argue that the human gene pool is degenerating and this must be fought.
Essentially, the basis of eugenics, as well as the basis of the phenomena of Nazism and fascism, is anal division into “clean” and “ dirty”: healthy - sick, good - bad, that which is allowed to live, and that which can “harm future generations”, therefore does not have the right to exist and reproduce, from which society must be “cleansed”. This is why there are calls to sterilize “defective” people in order to cleanse the gene pool.
Joseph Mengele, as a representative of eugenics, faced an important task: in order to breed a pure race, it is necessary to understand the reasons for the appearance of people with genetic “anomalies”. That is why the Angel of Death was of great interest in dwarfs, giants, various freaks and other people whose deviations were associated with certain disorders in genes.
Thus, among Joseph Mengele’s “favorites” was the Jewish family of Lilliputian musicians Ovitz from Romania (and later the Shlomowitz family that joined them), for whose support, by order of the Angel of Death, they were created best conditions in the camp.
The Ovitz family was interesting to Mengele, first of all, because, along with the Lilliputians, there were also ordinary people. The Ovits were well fed, allowed to wear their own clothes and not shave their hair. In the evenings, the Ovitzs entertained Dr. Death by playing musical instruments. Joseph Mengele called his “favorites” by the names of the seven dwarfs from Snow White.
Seven brothers and sisters, originally from the Romanian town of Rosvel, lived in a labor camp for almost a year.
One might think that the Angel of Death became attached to the Lilliputians, but this was not the case. When it came to experiments, he already treated his “friends” in a completely unfriendly manner: the poor fellows had their teeth and hair pulled out, cerebrospinal fluid extracts were taken, unbearably hot and unbearably cold substances were poured into their ears, and terrible gynecological experiments were performed.
"The most scary experiments of all [were] gynecological. Only those of us who were married went through them. We were tied to a table and systematic torture began. They inserted some objects into the uterus, pumped out blood from there, picked out the insides, pierced us with something and took pieces of samples. The pain was unbearable."
The results of the experiments were sent to Germany. Many scientific minds came to Auschwitz to listen to Joseph Mengele's reports on eugenics and experiments on Lilliputians. The entire Ovitz family was stripped naked and displayed in front of a large audience like scientific exhibits.
Doctor Mengele's Twins
"Twins!"- this cry echoed over the crowd of prisoners, when suddenly the next twins or triplets timidly huddled together were discovered. They were kept alive and taken to a separate barracks, where the children were well fed and even given toys. A sweet, smiling doctor with a steely gaze often came to see them: he treated them to sweets and gave them rides around the camp in his car.
However, Mengele did all this not out of sympathy or out of love for the children, but only with the cold calculation that they would not be afraid of his appearance when the time came for the next twins to go to the operating table. That’s the whole price of initial “luck”. "My guinea pigs" The terrible and merciless Doctor Death called the twin children.
The interest in twins was not accidental. Josef Mengele was worried main idea: if every German woman gives birth to two or three healthy ones at once instead of one child, the Aryan race will finally be able to be reborn. That is why it was very important for the Angel of Death to study in the smallest detail all the structural features of identical twins. He hoped to understand how to artificially increase the birth rate of twins.
The twin experiments involved 1,500 pairs of twins, of which only 200 survived.
The first part of the experiments on twins was harmless enough. The doctor needed to carefully examine each pair of twins and compare all their body parts. Centimeter by centimeter they measured arms, legs, fingers, hands, ears, noses and everything, everything, everything.
Such meticulousness in the research was not accidental. After all, the anal vector, which exists not only in Joseph Mengele, but also in many other scientists, does not tolerate haste, but, on the contrary, requires detailed analysis. Every little detail needs to be taken into account.
The Angel of Death meticulously recorded all measurements in tables. Everything is as it should be for an anal vector: on the shelves, neatly, precisely. As soon as the measurements were completed, the experiments on the twins moved into another phase.
It was very important to check the body’s reactions to certain stimuli. For this purpose, one of the twins was taken: he was injected with some dangerous virus, and the doctor observed: what will happen next? All results were again recorded and compared with the results of the other twin. If a child became very ill and was on the verge of death, then he was no longer interesting: he, while still alive, was either opened up or sent to a gas chamber.
The twins were given each other's blood, internal organs were transplanted (often from a pair of other twins), and dye segments were injected into their eyes (to test whether brown Jewish eyes could become blue Aryan eyes). Many experiments were carried out without anesthesia. The children screamed and begged for mercy, but nothing could stop the one who imagined himself to be the Creator.
The idea is primary, the life of the “little people” is secondary. This in a simple way Many unhealthy sound people are guided by this. Dr. Mengele dreamed of revolutionizing the world (in particular the world of genetics) with his discoveries. What does he care about some children!
So the Angel of Death decided to create Siamese twins by stitching together gypsy twins. The children suffered terrible torment and blood poisoning began. The parents could not observe this and suffocated the experimental subjects at night in order to alleviate the suffering.
A little more about Mengele's ideas
Joseph Mengele with a colleague at the Institute of Anthropology, Human Genetics and Eugenics. Kaiser Wilhelm. Late 1930s.
While doing terrible things and conducting inhuman experiments on people, Joseph Mengele everywhere hides behind science and his idea. At the same time, many of his experiments were not only inhumane, but also meaningless, not bringing any discovery to science. Experiments for the sake of experiments, torture, infliction of pain.
Mengele covered up his cruelty and his actions with the laws of nature. “We know that natural selection controls nature, exterminating inferior individuals. The weaker ones are excluded from the reproduction process. This is the only way to maintain a healthy human population. IN modern conditions we must protect nature: prevent inferior ones from reproducing. Such people should be subjected to forced sterilization.".
People for him are just “human material”, which, like any other material, is divided only into high-quality or low-quality. Poor quality and don't mind throwing it away. It can be burned in furnaces and poisoned in chambers, cause inhuman pain and carry out terrible experiments: i.e. be used in every possible way to create "quality human material", who has not only excellent health and high intelligence, but is generally devoid of all "defects".
How to achieve the creation of a higher caste? “This can only be achieved in one way - by selecting the best human material. Everything will end in disaster if the principle natural selection will be rejected. A few gifted people will not be able to withstand the multi-billion-dollar mass of idiots. Perhaps the gifted will survive, as reptiles once survived, and billions of idiots will disappear, as the dinosaurs once disappeared. We must not allow a massive increase in the number of such idiots.” The egocentrism of the sound vector in these lines reaches its apogee. Looking down on other people, deep contempt and hatred - that’s what motivated the Doctor.
When the sound vector is in a sick state, any ethical standards begin to shift in a person’s head. At the output we get: “From an ethical point of view, the problem is this: it is necessary to determine in which cases a person should be kept alive and in which cases he should be destroyed. Nature has shown us the ideal of truth and the ideal of beauty. What does not correspond to these ideals perishes as a result of selection arranged by nature itself.”
Speaking about the benefits of humanity, the Angel of Death does not at all mean all of humanity as such, for such peoples as Jews, Gypsies, Slavs and others do not deserve, in his opinion, life at all. He feared that if his research fell into the hands of the Slavs, they would be able to use the discoveries for the benefit of their people.
This is why Joseph Mengele, when Soviet troops were approaching Germany and the defeat of the Germans was inevitable, he hastily collected all his tables, notebooks, notes and left the camp, ordering the destruction of traces of his crimes - the surviving twins and midgets.
When the twins were taken to the gas chambers, Zyklon-B suddenly ran out and the execution was postponed. Fortunately, the Soviet troops were already very close, and the Germans fled.
The Ovitz and Shlomowitz families and 168 twins enjoyed their long-awaited freedom. The children ran towards their saviors, crying and hugging. Is the nightmare over? No, he will now haunt the survivors for the rest of his life. When they feel bad or when they are sick, the ominous shadow of the mad Doctor Death and the horrors of Auschwitz will appear to them again. It was as if time had turned back and they were back in their 10th barracks.
Auschwitz, children in a camp liberated by the Red Army, 1945.
For the rest of his life, Mengele skillfully hides from all sorts of agents who want to catch him and bring him to trial. The shadows of the past also haunt the Angel of Death, but not only does he not regret what he did, but on the contrary, he is absolutely confident that he is right, considers the Germans who renounced fascism to be traitors. Forced to run from one place to another, the Doctor develops paranoia. On February 7, 1979, Josef Mengele, according to Wikipedia and other encyclopedic sources, dies of a stroke that happened to him in the water.
P.S. Not long ago, the last surviving twin died. The story of torture and horror of the Angel of Death ends, although many mythologize his figure, claiming that Josef Mengele only faked his death, and is still continuing his experiments somewhere.
