      The Angel of Death

      History places some names in the top ruckus of viciousness, violence and true evil. One such name that surfaces and whose identity is very distinctive to the very end of a regime is Dr. Josef Mengele. The hunt for this man’s crimes and his most spectacular disappearance from the scenes makes Dr. Mengele one of history’s unsolved mysteries.

      At the height of the Second World War, with the Nazis’ shadow looming over Europe and invading countries like Poland, France etc, the Nazi regime’s notorious acts are something that human sense finds it difficult to comprehend.

      Dr. Mengele was trained as a medical practitioner but his experiments and scientific researches made him an unforgivable human being. As the war went on, still its doom came in 1945. Allied forces’ invasion of Berlin also led them to discover the most dastard acts of unimaginable crimes along with atrocities.

      The deadly concentration camps came to light after it was hidden behind the scene. And the mere discovery of such inhuman attempts paved the way for historians to term it as “Jewish Holocaust”. Dr. Mengele was one among the many who directly participated in the most gut wrenching violence of all times. The horror, bloodshed and brutality brought his experiments into a new horizon. It really shocked the conscience of ordinary men. It is with much difficulty that we learn and grasp the nature of medical crimes in modern history.

      World War II ended leaving an entire globe in utter chaos and catastrophe. Man’s inhumanity was evidently the driving force and motive that showed Dr. Mengele as a participant in the bid to make a new German Reich, a new German race. It was a web of lies that caught this man and trained him to become part of the darkness of the 20th century.
