  • He Hoarded Body Parts on Random Chilling Facts About Nazi Doctor Josef Mengele

    (#15) He Hoarded Body Parts

    In 2015, a member of the Max Planck Psychiatric Institute in Munich discovered a cache of body parts and brains stashed away in their archives. The hoarded remains were either used in or the results of wartime experiments, many conducted by Mengele at Auschwitz. The Institute immediately began set out to identify the remains while reminding people that their research had nothing to do with all of the brains found in their office.

    In a statement published on its website, the Institute wrote: “We are embarrassed by these findings, and the blemish of their discovery in the archives."

  • Historians Found A Collection Of Mengele's Daily Documents From The War on Random Chilling Facts About Nazi Doctor Josef Mengele

    (#16) Historians Found A Collection Of Mengele's Daily Documents From The War

    In 2010, a collection of food receipts from Auschwitz were found in the attic of a house close to the camp. The receipts paint a picture of the day-to-day lives of the men and women who ran the camp. The records show that Mengele bought butter and sugar while at the camp, among other mundane details.

  • Mengele Was Obsessed With Studying Twins on Random Chilling Facts About Nazi Doctor Josef Mengele

    (#1) Mengele Was Obsessed With Studying Twins

    One of the most well-known facts about Mengele is his chilling fascination with twins. His experiments began as a way to further explore the Nazi Party's pet concept of eugenics, a philosophy advocating the improvement of human genetic traits through a systematic weeding out of perceived negative parts of DNA. After working with Professor Otmar Freiherr von Vershuer, Mengele believed that in studying twins, he could gain insight into understanding how one goes about physically removing genetic makeup.

    Because twins were valuable to Mengele, they were afforded some basic human rights that other of the prisoners at Auschwitz were denied, like keeping their hair and wearing clothes. That's where the benefits of being considered one of "Mengele's Children" ended. The twins were subjected to brutal experiments that ultimately seemed to be more about inflicting terror than genuine scientific investigation. 

  • He Played Nice To Trick Children Into Trusting Him on Random Chilling Facts About Nazi Doctor Josef Mengele

    (#11) He Played Nice To Trick Children Into Trusting Him

    A wolf in sheep's clothing might not be enough to describe the misleading front that Mengele used to put the children of Auschwitz at ease. Not only would he give them candy, but he also founded a kindergarten at the camp and played the violin to children in order to lull them into a false sense of security. When it came time to take the children away, he had them delivered to his medical laboratory either in trucks painted with the Red Cross emblem or in his own personal car.

  • A Brazilian Professor Won The Right To Study Mengele's Bones on Random Chilling Facts About Nazi Doctor Josef Mengele

    (#20) A Brazilian Professor Won The Right To Study Mengele's Bones

    In 2016, Dr. Daniel Romero Muniz finally won the rights to examine Josef Mengele's bones. The professor from the University of São Paulo donated the bones to the students at his facility, saying, "They will be used to help train new doctors and will be particularly good for those students who are studying post-mortem examinations." 

    It's not clear what motivated Dr. Muniz's legal fight to acquire these particular bones since there doesn't seem to be any special medical and educational benefit to using the deceased doctor's remains for this purpose over anyone else's.

  • Mengele's Early Work Was Focused On Cleft Palates on Random Chilling Facts About Nazi Doctor Josef Mengele

    (#13) Mengele's Early Work Was Focused On Cleft Palates

    Before he was known as the Angel of Death, Mengele held a respectable position as a physician who focused on oral embryology and in the developmental anomalies of cleft palate and harelip. This curiosity about fixing genetic anomalies may have been a precursor to his evil experimentation.
