Dr. Josef (Joseph) Mengel
Born March 16, 1911, in Güzenburg, Germany, Dr. Josef Mengele was a major Nazi player. He earned a Ph.D. in physical anthropology in 1935. Two years later, he joined the Nazi party, became a soldier. In 1938 he was badly wounded fighting in the Russian campaign, so he volunteered to work concentration camps in Auschwitz.
Mengele earned the nickname "Angel of Death" for being known to send many people to gas chambers, or just dooming them to work before their glorious murders. At one time, 750 women became infested with lice, so he gassed them all, and ordered that the blockhouse be deloused. Another incident, he condemned a whole train load of Jews to be instantly gassed, for the sole reason that a mother refused to be separated from her daughter, and she attacked a SS guard who tried to separate them.
Dr. Josef Mengele often experimented on twins. He would calm them before experiments by giving them clean clothes and sweets. He performed experiments like surgery without anesthetics, blood transfusions from one twin to the other, deliberately injecting of lethal germs into the twins, and sex change operations.
In 1944, 800 Gypsy children, including more than one hundred boys between the ages of nine and fourteen were systematically murdered. Also in 1944, October 7, while several hundred Jewish prisoners were forced to carry corpses from the gas chambers to the furnace to dispose of the bodies. They blew up one of the gas chambers, and set fire to another, using explosives smuggled to them from Jewish women who worked in a nearby armaments factory. Out of roughly four-hundred-fifty prisoners involved, around two-hundred-fifty escaped the camp during the chaos, but all were found and shot.

This was an experiment of Mengele's. These were two twin boys that were sewn together to make conjoined twins. They later died from Gangrene from where their arteries were re-sectioned.
