Paper Summary:
This paper seeks to relate Josef Mengele's crimes via a systematic analysis. It analyzes the purposes of the medical experimentation conducted by Mengele and provides a brief analysis of the types of experiments he conducted. The paper then discusses his justification for the experiments, as it is understood by researchers and finally provides a short sketch of the aftermath of his work.From the Paper:
"The history of eugenics goes beyond Mengele, as he was not the mastermind of it, but he and his particular mental state seriously added to the pseudoscience that at least for a time dominated and supported the long history of anti-Semitism. Mengele took full advantage of the ability to have free reign to play God with the lives of those who had no protection from him in an attempt to bolster his eugenic ideology. Though, Mengele escaped justice and lived out the reminder of his life in relative peace, his victims will never have closure and the history he left behind is a constant reminder of the unsettling behavior that people are capable of."Sample of Sources Used:
