World War II May 2009: 10-11. EBSCOhost. World War II, May 2009. Web. 03 July 2011. This article contains information regarding the argument that Josef Mengele could have been conducting experiments up until the date of his death. The argument is sound, however, it really will never be known, and it is very curious. I find this to be an interesting twist, however fictional it may be, to the story of a man who evaded capture for his crimes during WWII. Forgiving Dr. Mengele. Dir. Bob Hercules and Cheri Pugh. Perf. Eva Kor. Media Process Educational Films, 2005. DVD. Eva Kor was an identical twin during the Holocaust and was taken to Auschwitz. Only her twin sister and she survived from their immediate family. They were both part of Dr. Mengele's experiments. This woman was persecuted for being a Jew, watched her sister die at an early age due to some mysterious injection she was given in Auschwitz, and because she was using forgiveness as a tool towards peace in her life, she was persecuted by other survivors years later. Grabowski, John F. Josef Mengele. Farmington Hills: Lucent, 2004. Print. This book is an autobiography of the man Josef Mengele. It covers his childhood, schooling and how his health was as a child. Certain sections describe how his mother treated him, and it cast some light on how he could be so indifferent to other humans. This book contains the most extensive information regarding Dr Mengele I have found. It was interesting to find out how strict the Nazis were even where their officers marriages were concerned.

"Josef Mengele." United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, 6 Jan. 2011. Web. 02 July 2011. This article gives a brief introduction to the man Josef Mengele. Also found within this article is a listing of Josef's background education, and some of his mentors. Towards the end they give a description of his escape from Germany after the liberation of the Jewish people, and his final demise in South America. I think this article was more of a summation of the man Josef Mengele. I found it interesting in that it is one of the few articles about Dr Mengele, that states he was interested in genetics even before the war. Koren, Yehuda. "MENGELE AND THE FAMILY OF DWARFS." Editorial. History Today Feb. 2005: 32-33. EBSCOhost. History Today, Feb. 2005. Web. 03 July 2011. This article contains a second source of information concerning experiments Josef Mengele performed, this time not concerning twins, but on a dwarf family. I found this article to be interesting in that it gives real insight into the thoughts and fears of the inmates selected by Dr Mengele. "The Mother." EBSCOhost. Newsweek, 16 Jan. 1995. Web. 03 July 2011. At the very bottom of this page of text is a story about a woman who was 3 months pregnant when she arrived at Auschwitz and it describes her meeting with Josef Mengele and the experiments he subjected her and the baby to. This is really just a blip in the scheme of things, but it really tells of how utterly pointless some of Dr Mengeles experiments were, and the lengths a human will go to keep a loved one from pain. "Nazi Medical Experiments." United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. 06 Jan. 2011. Web. 06 July 2011. This article explains types of experiments Dr. Mengele was involved in. He was involved in the third category of medical experiments. These were used to advance the racial and ideological facets of the Nazi views. I thought this bit of information was interesting because it explains why he did so much of his research with twins. He wanted to see also how certain races of people withstood disease.

Alexander Only general information about Josef Mengele, but may add some bits I don't get from other sources. It did lend credence to other articles and I used it mostly as that. This was a very short summation of what other cites mentioned.
