Doctor Josef Mengele

Born in Germany on March 16, 1911, Josef Mengele is most notable for his work in the death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. Menegel was known as the angel of death because as new prisoners arrived at Auschwitz Mengele chose who would move on to do forced labor and who would go to their death. His guidelines for selection are still unknown. Mengele is also notorious for the human experiments he performed during the Holocaust.

-Freezing/ Hypothermia

-Genetics

-Infectious Diseases

-Interrogation and Torture

-Killing/ Genocide

-High Altitude

-Pharmacological
