Mengele had become interested in utilizing twins for medical research through Verschure, famous for experimenting with identical and fraternal twins in order to trace the genetic origin of various diseases. During the 1930’s, Twin research was seen as an idea tool in weighing the varying factors of human heredity and environment.
Mengele, with his mentor, ha performed a number of legitimate research protocols using twins as test subjects throughout the 1930’s. Now at Auschwitz, with full license to maim or kill his “test subjects”, Mengele, performed a broad range of agonizing and often lethal experiments with jewish and roma (“Gypsy”) twins,most of the twins are children.
He had a variety of other research interests including a fascination with injecting Heterochromia, a condition which when two irises change different colors. Throughout his …show more content…
Like most “scientists” at work in the concentration camp environment, Mengele enlisted the aid of trained medical professionals among the prisoner population to perform the more grisly, or mundane tasks and to carry out autopsies upon his dead victims. We owe much of our early Knowledge of mengele's activities Auschwitz too dr.Miklos Nyiszli, a prisoner-physician who assisted Mengele under duress, and then published his experiments, initially in his native Hungarian in 1946 (His Auschwitz:A Doctor's eyewitness account appeared in english in
