The Search for Mengele

Josef Mengele, the 'Angel of Death,' was the most notorious SS doctor at Auschwitz.

He sent hundreds of thousands of Jews to their deaths and performed appalling experiments on adults and children.

Strange and eerie documentary that watches like Faces of Death.

It's that weird.

There are interviews with school boy friends who talk about how nice and down to earth he was.

Then we hear that he threw live babies onto a fire pit, starved others, and pulled the brains out of some others.

All this wrapped around pictures of piles of emaciated dead bodies.

What makes this even weirder is that there is no emotion. Plenty of survival interviews but no matter who speaks the countenance is so unemotional.

When he runs to Argentina people say he was very nice and always telling jokes and whistling.

Then he actually goes on a skiing holiday in Germany! Visits his son. Huh?

What's up with that?

Josef Mengele was a very well educated man and many degrees in medicine, he especially enjoyed classical music and came from a home with very strict parents who only wanted their son Josef to become famous and well known. In some ways their wish came true, however, Josef became the angel of death to all the people sent to Auschwitz Concentration camp during WW II with the Nazi's in complete control. Mengele was mostly interested in twins boys or girls to perform his experiments on and they are too horrible to describe. Mengele made the decisions where millions of Jewish people would go, old, young and those going to the ovens and gas chambers. It is good that films are always available for generations to see just what really went on in Europe under Adolph Hitler and men like Mengele.
