Joseph Mengele (Nazi doctor)

Joseph Mengele was a German doctor and member of the Nazi Party, infamous for his inhumane medical experiments at Auschwitz during World War II. He conducted brutal experiments on prisoners, particularly twins, often resulting in suffering, permanent harm, or death. Mengele was known for his cold demeanor and was called the "Angel of Death." After the war, he evaded capture, living in South America for decades. His actions symbolized the atrocities of the Holocaust, raising ethical questions about medical research and human rights that resonate to this day. Mengele remains a chilling figure in discussions of medical ethics and war crimes.
