Weirdly, he was actually a very calm person
In various interviews with Holocaust survivors, Josef Mengele was described as a person with calmness and tact. For example, Sam Pivnik, who was 14 years old during the Holocaust, said in an interview with the Sunday Express that Mengele had a habit of discreetly flipping his gloves to the left if a prisoner was destined to die or to the right if they were to remain alive while assessing the destiny of new arrivals.
Before bringing the children to his medical laboratory, Mengele would frequently play the role of a good “father” with them by feeding them candy, establishing a kindergarten, and playing the violin to give them a false feeling of security.
His main obsession was twin genetics
The frightening obsession that Josef Mengele had with twins is among the most well-known facts about him. His first research was motivated by the Nazi Party’s favorite theory of eugenics, which promotes the selective removal of deemed undesirable DNA segments to enhance human genetic characteristics. After collaborating with Professor Otmar Freiherr von Vershuer, Mengele thought he might learn more about how to physically remove genetic composition by researching twins.
Josef Mengele believed that identical twins were the key to unlocking the mysteries of genetics. That’s why he performed some amazing experiments on twins, including forced insemination, amputations, blood transfusions, injections of illness, and murder, using one twin as a control. The deceased were dissected and examined, while the twins who survived were murdered and put through the same ordeal.
Furthermore, twins in Auschwitz were granted certain fundamental human rights, such as the ability to keep their hair and wear clothes, because Mengele valued them more than other prisoners. However, these “benefits” came at a cost because they were put through cruel tests that, in the end, appeared to be more about terrorizing individuals than doing real scientific research.
Out of the 3,000 twins that were used in medical experimentation in Auschwitz, just 200 of them lived.

It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net
will be a lot more useful than ever before.
