Dr. josef mengele cefrey,holly “Dr.Josef Mengele” New york: The rosen publishing group inc. 2001 print Dr. Josef Mengele started out in the Nazi party as an S.S officer. He then became a doctor at Auschwitz when soldiers could not cope with the mass murder they were committing. He was mostly interested in Jewish twins and gypsies with two-colored eyes. He was known for switching twins’ organs and dying prisoners eyes blue. Also killing multi-colored eyed gypsies just to remove their eyes and research them. He also took thousands of prisoners suffering from Typhus and gassed them. Otmar Freiherr von Vershuer was his assistant and helped Mengele escape the death penalty releasing him on false identification.

Gypsies lawton, clive “The story of the holocaust” danbury 1999, printcefrey, holly “dr. josef mengele” new york, the rosen publishing group inc. 2001. print Another group targeted by Nazis were the gypsies. Thousands were killed in the holocaust. At first Nazis thought Gypsies could be identified by their blood (which was found to be false after the war). Nazis didn’t like how Gypsies traveled excessively and that they didn’t own their own land. Only the German-Gypsies were spared. Over a thousand gypsies were gassed and two gypsy children were beheaded for examination by Mengele.

Joseph Goebbels Roberts, Jeremy. “Joseph Goebbels: Nazi propaganda minister. New york: The rosen publishing group, inc. 2000. print. Although Joseph Goebbels never killed anyone, World War II would have never begun without him. He was a main cause of Hitler’s fame. Physically handicapped with a club foot he was nicknamed the Clubfoot Demon. From his teenage years Goebbels idolized, and had a strange, serious obsession with Hitler. He was also obsessed with perfection and in his later years he went as far as recording applauses from Hitler’s speeches. Goebbels talked Hitler into suicide and helped burn his and Eva Braun’s corpses. A day later he then killed himself, his wife, and two children identical to Hitler with cyanide and a bullet to the forehead.
