This essay will explore the role Nazi scientists and doctors played in labeling Jews as “different” during the Holocaust. Some of Germany's most renowned medically trained professionals and biomedical research institutes have engaged in forms of research using forced labor, dissection, extermination, euthanasia programs, sterilizations that have pushed the boundaries of moral behavior and medicine to demonstrate that Jews are inferior human beings to Germans. Approximately six million Jews died during the Holocaust. Hitler's master plan to cleanse Germany of Jews was not only carried out by German policemen and military personnel, but was also in the mortal hands of doctors who controlled the life and death of prisoners. One of these infamous doctoral professors from Munich, Josef Mengele, was known as the “Angel of Death.” Mengele's "medical experiments" performed at Auschwitz were cruel beyond belief. (1)During the Holocaust there were several types of concentration camps where innocent Jews went to suffer and die. There were death camps, huge prisons and killing centers. During the Holocaust, the most famous concentration camp was located in Auschwitz. The systematic gassing of Jews began in Auschwitz in March 1942. (2) It is unimaginable to the human mind that these extermination camps existed. Not only did they exist and function like well-oiled machines, but the number of concentration camps is staggering, which demonstrates Germany's determination to destroy the Jews. The variety of fields that included: work, death, cold experiments, and related work, to name a few, totaled 10,005. “There were 52 main concentration camps, with a total of 1,202 satellite camps. Auschwitz alone, with its 50 satellite camps, had 7,000 guards between… middle of paper… the annihilation of the Jews was a measure for the recovery of the world and of Germany.” And Dr. Jacob R. considered Mengele an SS mystic who believed that "if all the Jews were annihilated, victory would come by itself." Unlike most SS doctors, Mengele was a true ideologue: a man who understood that his life must be in service of a larger vision. No doubt he saw himself as a Nazi revolutionary, a man committed to the audacious task of rebuilding his people and, ultimately, the people of the world. Mengele exemplified the Nazi biological revolutionary. For many survivors, Mengele must have come to represent the evil of Auschwitz, that meaning in their lives could only be restored with his capture and trial. In the words of an imprisoned doctor: “I would like to live long enough to see this trial and then I could die”. **
