Josef Mengele

Around 1.3 million people were transported to Auschwitz, while around 1.1 of them died there. (“Auschwitz 2”) Auschwitz was sadly one of the most efficient concentration camps, mainly because of the large amount of Jews killed there, it was located in southern Poland, and started off as a detention center for prisoners. It soon evolved into something much worse, a death camp where men, women, and children were all murdered, usually by gas chambers, burning in the crematoria, or simply by…

The genetic The white skin, blue eye and the tallest people were seeing by the Germans like the one and only pure race, so the first thing to prove that they were the only lucid race was the measurements of their heads, eyes, nose, and heights. Dr. Josef Mangele was called as the “Angel of the death” because he was the first basic Nazi waiting that the trains arrived to Auschwitz with many Jews, after the victims were took out of the trains and exposed naked and divided into men, women, elderly…

For example, during the Holocaust and World War II, the Nazis conducted many different medical experiments on prisoners in concentration camps, one of which they studied twins in hope to increase Germany’s population. Led by Josef Mengele, these experiments ranged from injecting dyes into their eyes to change the colour to sewing twins together in an attempt to create conjoined twins. Of the 1,500 sets of twins experimented on, only about 200 individuals survived these tests. Another…

on unwilling participants, such as the twin experiments were extreme methods of torture. Such as the case with the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele, who supervised a horrifying surgical procedure sewing two Gypsy twins together to create Siamese twins.

Coming from the ruins of WWII, the Nazi party had a will, a will to change the human race forever. Germany was a central power during World War I. Their allies consisted of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire of Turkey.

Joseph Stalin was one of the easiest rankings on my list. To this day, not a single human has as much blood on their hands than Joseph Stalin. He was definitely not someone that you would want to mess with. He was responsible for over twice the deaths than Hitler. I believe that the cause for his unspeakable evils was nurture. Joseph Stalin was born into a very poor family and was constantly teased when he never fully recovered from smallpox. His unfortunate childhood made him angry and…
