Dr. Mengele--The Angel of Death
Josef Mengele: Angel of Death Mini-Documentary
- For what is Dr. Mengele famous? What was his role at Auschwitz?
- On whom did Dr. Mengele primarily perform experiments? How did he rationalize these experiements on these people?
- While Dr. Mengele's experiments were unimaginably cruel, some scientific discovery came out of them that we still use today (pressurized airplanes, dental procedures, etc). Some have argued that Dr. Mengele should be given credit for these discoveries. Others argue that he should receive no credit since the nature of his experiments was so brutal. What do you think and why do you feel this way?
