"On Auschwitz" (52): Doctor Josef Mengele and his experiments in the camp

Josef Mengele was a doctor of medicine and philosophy, an
assistant to Prof. Otmar von Verschuer in the Institute for
Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene in Frankfurt, member of the
Nazi Party and the SS.


In Auschwitz, he was the chief physician in the Roma and Sinti
Family Camp in Birkenau, and from August to December 1944, he was
also the chief physician of the entire Birkenau camp.


Mengele was responsible for the experiments on human
heredity. He was never punished for his crimes. Dr Agnieszka
Kita from the Archives of the Muzeum talks about Josef Mengele.
