Show Notes
Hello and welcome to this weeks episode, the case of Nazi doctor and scientist, Josef Mengele.
In the 1940's, as a fully fledged member of the Nazi Party and eager student of the pseudo-science, Eugenics, the young Dr. Mengele couldn't wait for his posting at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Every day he would be seen on his raised platform, carrying out selections on the railway platform, selecting who would live as a slave in the force labour camp and who would go to the gas chamber with just a flick of his whip. During this process he was always on the lookout for pairs of twins. This would save a number of children from immediate death, but at the cost of becoming one of 'Uncle Josef's' children and being in the terrifying position of becoming a human guinea pig while in his care. Many of these children would go off with him never to return again, or to return to their mother's having been deliberately infected with various contagious diseases or having hideous operations conducted on them.
After the war Mengele would escape punishment and eventually flee to live a life of happiness and comfort in South America and his surviving victims would never see this monster brought to justice.
