1942 promoted to Captain earning the Iron Cross, Wound Badge, & the Eastern Front Medal
In May 1943 Mengele was sent to the Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz
Sent 400,000 Jew "unfit for work" to gas chambers
Mengele was interested in babies, twins, the disease Noma, and dwarfs (to prove the superiority of the ARYAN RACE)
Attempted to change eye color by injecting chemicals into children's eyes
Drew a line in children's block at about 5 feet 2 inches and if the children's head didn't reach the line he cut off their head
Killed 400,000 Jews by saying, "Death to the left, life to the right."
Chose girls to perform sterilization and shock treatment
His thought about Jews: "Nevertheless not human beings, but rather material on which to conduct experiment."
One women's block was infected with lice so he solved it by gassing all 750 women in the block
Mengele loved drawing blood from identical twins (bled some to death)
Would do surgeries on spines leaving children paralyzed
Performed surgeries without anesthesia, transfusions of blood from one twin to another, isolation endurance, reactions to stimuli, injections with lethal germs, sex changes, removal of limbs and organs, incestuous impregnations
"There are only two gifted people in the world, Germans and Jews, and it's a question who will be superior, so they need to be destroyed."
He remained in Auschwitz till evacuation in January of 1945
Disappeared after Auschuwitz
Sent all of his records to his mentor, Dr. von Verschuer. Dr. von Verschuer destroyed all his records after Mengele disappeared.
Evacuated to Argentina in 1949

Later fled to Brazil, then to Paraguay, then back to Brazil
While in Brazil Mengele went for a swim, suffered a massive stroke, and drowned in 1979

Survivors of Mengele's treatments deny that the remains found in the ocean are that of Josef Mengele (Althought DNA proves otherwise)
