Adolf Hitler, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, used Jews as a scapegoat to Germany’s problems. His goal was to gain worldly power and to eliminate every Jewish person, enemy, or threat to his reign. He would send every Jew in the country of Germany to concentration camps. He orchestrated a breeding program of which if the child was not Aryan he would be exterminated.
Joseph Stalin, dictator of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1953, grew up as despicable male. When he was a young man, he was a thief, agitator, and an assassin. If anyone spied on him or voted against Joseph Stalin, they would be doomed to death. He would kill the family members of anyone who loved him.
Vlad Dracula, Prince of Wallachia and inspiration of Dracula the vampire, enjoyed the torture and death of others. His typical method of death was impalement, sending a stake through the derrière and out the mouth. He loved to impale animals along with babies through their mother. He also toasted children and forced their parents to ingest their bodies (25mostevil.wordpress.com/).
Even though there were other evil people, Josef Mengele was the most sadistic and brutal person from the 15th to 21st century, performing merciless and murderous experiments on others.

physician in Auschwitz, was known as the “Angel of Death” (25mostevil.wordpress.com/). He achieved that nickname from being the vestigial regalia of Hitler’s “Final Solution.” He was the prime laborer in for the gas chambers and the crematoria. The flick of his finger meant the difference between possible life and certain death. Josef Mengele, the notorious Nazi doctor, received a medical degree from the University of Frankfurt am Main. He also studied philosophy in Munich (mengele.dk). He was assigned to the staff for the “Institute of Heredity Biology and Race Research.” His specialty was on twins and race science studies. He was delegated Chief Doctor of Auschwitz in May of 1943. His desire was to increase the birthrate of Aryans (Weber 458 and 467). Dr. Mengele also supplied the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute with the blood and skeletons of inmates from the concentration camps (Weber 233). ODESSA, "Organization Der Ehemaligen SS-Angehörigen,” was a clandestine organization for previous members of the SS. Its ambition was to assist Nazi members escape Europe and compensation (jewishvirtuallibrary.org). The first essential passage decamped through Austria and Italy then to Spain. The second passage led to countries in the Middle East. The third escape route led to South America, exclusively to Argentina and Paraguay (britannica.com). The “Angel of Death” escaped punishment by mistakenly being released by U.S. officials. His escape abode was in Buenos Aires, Argentina (Weber 458). He escaped Nazi criminal justice by departing Europe. The way he obtained safety was a mystery. ODESSA, however, was found to be an organization that allowed his escape, along with Adolf Eichmann’s. Josef Mengele drowned in the Brazilian Ocean while on a swim. Dr. Mengele was taking a swim when he had a sudden stroke. Later, residents found the body washed up, it matched Josef Mengele. Josef Mengele’s specialty was in ethnicity and twin research.
He was especially fascinated by twins, and he desired to find the secrets to heredity. Very few of the about 3,000 twins at Auschwitz endured Josef Mengele’s barbarous hysteria. They would have known him as Uncle Mengele. Uncle Mengele, the “Angel of Death,” was the handsome man who brought them different candies and clothes. Dr. Mengele had pockets filled with candies, chocolates. He would be charming, patting their heads, talking to them, sometimes even playing with them. He worked with other high researchers to figure out the secrets. Josef Mengele believed that twins kept all those secrets, which was why he was so thrilled whenever he discovered
twins. Each pair of twins had special treatment; they were known as “Mengele’s Children.” They were allowed to keep their hair and clothes. Conditions were the best for twins in Auschwitz, although the experiments on them equaled out to make them equal with everyone else. They were permitted to take classes and even play soccer. They were not required to perform hard tasks, having jobs as a messenger. Twins were saved from punishments and selections within the camp. In the morning, promptly 6 A.M., there was a mandatory head count, no matter the weather. They received a tiny breakfast. Uncle Mengele would show up for a routine inspection of the children, there was no fear of him. Everyday, blood was taken in huge portions. After the pair of twins were taken away from their mother and father, they went to actual showers. The twins were asked questions about things such as their history and age. The twins were searched for any individual special traits among themselves. One of the doctors would tattoo the twins and fill out a form in the twin’s camp (history1900s.about.com). Each twin would stand for hours with their arms straight up so Doctor Mengele could photograph their armpits. They would be photographed for many days in different positions to show the hair sequences. Following the pictures, they were placed in steaming hot tubs and remained in there until they were close to passing out. Then, Doctor Mengele would pluck each and every hair out of their body (remember.org). Josef Mengele would dissect the twin’s bodies, comparing each of the organs. Mengele also would implant a murderous disease within one of the twins, then use the other twin’s organs at autopsy. There were different injections that Dr. Mengele would use that served purpose for different things. He would inject an eyewash to change the color of the twins’ eyes. This would usually end up with agonizing pain, injury, and utter blindness. Mengele would execute surgeries on the twins without using anesthesia on them. He would inject chloroform into the twins’ hearts, taking care that they were both killed at the same exact time by the injection. He’d then test organ reactions after the chloroform injection. Dr. Mengele would also perform a special type of spinal surgery, stitching them together. They were supposed to be perfect Siamese twins. He executed numerous blood transfusions, gender changes, and reaction experiments among the twins. Eva and Miriam Mozes both survived Dr. Mengele’s sadistic experiments, although the rest of their family did not survive Auschwitz. They were born on January 30, 1934, their lives were positive until they were stated to pack because they were to be moved somewhere else. Their new location was in a ghetto until they were moved again to Auschwitz. Eva Mozes remembered how it went down at the railhead in Auschwitz. One SS man shouted that there were twins. Their mother questioned if it was satisfying that they were twins, so she answered that they were twins. The man then suddenly took away Eva and Miriam from their mother without giving a reason. Eva stated how she received five injections, quivering with a high fever. She remembered how she saw a pair of Gypsy twins sewn together after coming back from Mengele’s workshop, dying three days later. Marc and Francesca Berkowitz reported to Auschwitz, coming from Czechoslovakia. They were only 12 years old when arriving with their mother in March of 1944. Marc recalled that Dr. Mengele directly tattooed him, placing the pair of twins into a freezing tub, smoothing different chemicals all over their skin. Marc would count the number of injections he received from Mengele, but after he reached 150 he stopped counting the amount. One day, his mother appeared in a line to the gas chambers; Mengele instructed Marc to do something within the chambers so he could witness his mother’s death. Although those numerous injections happened decades ago, Marc still deteriorates from the pain (auschwitz.dk). Josef Mengele did not limit himself to racial purity experiments, he expanded between health and military-based experiments. He performed a devastating freezing experiment, which the testers were demanded to stay in a tub of extremely chilled ice water for three hours. If the participate did not die, they would be tested with various means of warming up. Another form of this experiment is leaving them outside naked in freezing temperatures. Each victim would screech in horror and pain as their bodies froze into an ice cube. Many people died during these tests. The Sea-Water Experiment was a certain experiment that attempted different ways to purify sea-water. Mengele desired to discover the best ways of transforming sea-water into drinkable water. The pawns were stripped of any food and only attained chemically processed sea-water. This experiment was the cause of deep injuries and severe body problems. The Malaria Experiment was designed to figure out a means of becoming immune to malaria and how to treat it. The victims were tainted by mosquitos or they had injections of the juice in the mucous glands of virus-carrying mosquitos. After perceiving the disease, they were treated multiple times with numerous drugs. More than a thousand innocents were utilized in the malaria experiments. A great deal of these victims died during this experiment and the rest undergo excruciating pain or everlasting disabilities. The Sulfanilamide Experiment was executed to investigate the usefulness of sulfanilamide on bacterial infections. Dr. Mengele would purposely cause a wound on the innocents then infect that wound with bacteria. The wound was then irritated by shoving tiny pieces of wood or glass. Then, the victims were treated with sulfanilamide and other bacterial infection drugs to figure out how much it aides. The victims suffered through extreme anguish, injury, and death. The Poison Experiment examined what effects different poisons had upon the human body, being the most sadistic healthy experiment. The victims in this experiment had absolutely no idea they were even being used in an experiment. Doctors clandestinely poisoned food that they were to eat. The innocents either were dead immediately or were murdered abruptly to be qualified for an autopsy. Around September of 1944, innocents were injected with poison bullets, suffering agony and death. The High-Altitude Experiment was used to examine human perseverance and life at high elevations. They were put in chambers with very low pressure; high elevation was then stimulated within the chamber. Many died from this astringent experiment or were cursed with torture or ill-treatment. The Mustard Gas Experiment tested to figure out what treatment worked best for the exposure of Mustard gas. Doctors purposely caused wounds on the bodies of the testers then infected it with Mustard gas. Many have died because of this experiment while others suffer unbearable pain and injury (mengele.dk). Even though there were other evil people, Josef Mengele was the most sadistic and brutal person from the 15th to 21st century, performing merciless and murderous experiments on others. There were many other despicable people, some still exist today. Josef Mengele conquers all of those brutal, sadistic souls. He performed barbarous experiments, barely any victims could escape. Although World War II ended many years ago, the outcomes of his callous experiments left scars on the world.
Adolf Hitler, born in 1889, is an Austrian born man who is known for his instigation and participation in the Nazi Political movement, or genocide, known as the Holocaust. Throughout his later life, Hitler spent the majority of his time organizing discriminatory laws that prevented Jewish citizens’ basic rights and ultimately their demise. However, before he advanced such laws and politics, he served as the Head of State, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, until he became the Fuhrer of Germany’s Third Reich which began in 1933 and ended in 1945 (Jewish Virtual Library). His actions were fueled by an unrelenting and strict hate for the Jewish community, better known as anti-Semitism, much like the vast majority of Eastern countries. Both

Beginning in 1933, Hitler and his Nazi party targeted not only those of the Jewish religion but many other sets. Hitler was motivated by religion and nationalism to eradicate any threats to his state. It was Hitler’s ideology that his Aryan race was superior to any other. Hitler’s goal was to create a “master race” by eliminating the chance for “inferiors” to reproduce. Besides the Jews the other victims of the genocide include the Roma (Gypsies), African-Germans, the mentally disabled, handicapped, Poles, Slavs, Anti-Nazi political parties, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Homosexuals. In Hitler’s eyes all of these groups needed to be eliminated in order for his master race to be a success.
Joseph Stalin was a realist dictator of the early 20th century in Russia. Before he rose to power and became the leader of Soviet Union, he joined the Bolsheviks and was part of many illegal activities that got him convicted and he was sent to Siberia (Wood, 5, 10). In the late 1920s, Stalin was determined to take over the Soviet Union (Wiener & Arnold 199). The main aspects of his worldview was “socialism
Hitler used propaganda and manufacturing enemies such as Jews and five million other people, to prepare the country for war. This shows Hitler’s attempt of genocide toward the Jewish race and other races.
In the Summer of 1941, Adolf Hitler started exterminating Jews and other non-Aryans, as a part of his plan to create a perfect Germany and to carry out his ‘Final Solution’ to the ‘Jewish Question’. Before exterminating 6,000,000 Jewish people, Adolf Hitler had already performed several actions which singled out the Jew as an evil person and one who should be killed. In 1923, Hitler was caught while trying to overturn the Bavarian government and was imprisoned for 5 years. In prison, he wrote the famed autobiography, Mein Kampf, in which he stated his first publicly known anti-Semitic beliefs and his ‘Final Solution’ to the ‘Jewish Question’. While imprisoned, there was a worldwide depression as economic markets crashed worldwide. This would help Hitler because once out of prison he would use this to help gain power both for the Nazi’s and for himself politically by promising better things to come in the future. In 1933, while preaching in front of a large Nazi crowd, Hitler used the Jews as scapegoats for Germany’s loss in World War One. “If at the beginning of the War and during the War twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebrew corrupters of the people had been held under poison gas, as happened to hundreds of thousands of our very best German workers in the field, the sacrifice of millions at the front would not have been in vain.'; Many people were upset at the loss, and blaming the Jews made many people anti-Semites. Once he was named chancellor in 1933, Hitler preached about creating a Germany for true German people and a more centralized Germany. This included eliminating those who were non-Aryans and/or non-German. He would later detail about what a true German was in the Nuremberg Laws. He stated that Jews were not really Germans but instead, they were non-Aryan, and they were malignant tumors.
January 30th, 1933 was the day thousands of lives were affected greatly. Adolf Hitler began as the Chancellor of Germany. Hitler and his newly founded army, were always viewed as the true killers of the innocent Jews. Many did not notice the people who actually did a great deal of the killing, the doctors that is. There were a number of doctors from the Holocaust that are known for horrific killing but one stands out above the rest. Dr. Josef Mengele is the one that most people know about. He is the one that is known for his antics in the killing of Jews. He can’t be compared to the others because what he did was like no other.
Son of a poverty-stricken shoemaker, raised in a backward province, Joseph Stalin had only a minimum of education. However, he had a burning faith in the destiny of social revolution and an iron determination to play a prominent role in it. His rise to power was bloody and bold, yet under his leadership, in an unexplainable twenty-nine years, Russia because a highly industrialized nation. Stalin was a despotic ruler who more than any other individual molded the features that characterized the Soviet regime and shaped the direction of Europe after World War II ended in 1945. From a young revolutionist to an absolute master of Soviet Russia, Joseph Stalin cast his shadow over the entire globe through his provocative affair in Domestic and Foreign policy.

Hitler’s passionate hate for Jewish people led to the darkest time in history, the Holocaust. Millions of innocent people become victims at the hands of Hitler, Ellie Wiesel, was one of the many. Wiesel, a famous Holocaust survival, wrote about his experience as a prisoner in Auschwitz. He endeared several years of physical and mental torment. In his time as a prisoner he questioned his faith in God exclaiming, “ I’ve got more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He’s the only one who’s kept his promises” (Wiesel 77). As Germany’s leader, Hitler took it upon himself to attack the Jewish population, making him infamously unforgettable. Adolf Hitler was Germany’s worst leader because he placed millions of people in inhumane situations, sentenced millions to death, and left his country in ruins.
One of the most demented doctors of the Nazi era went by the name of Josef Mengele. This was because of the gruesome experiments he conducted on woman, men, and children. Mengele wasn't always part of the Nazi culture. In fact, a lot of people don't seem to know how he ended up living the life that he did. Mengele started his career saving lives and helping people, not destroying them. So what caused him to change his ways so drastically? How could someone find it so easy to cause somebody else so much pain and agony?
But Hitler made it his goal to kill this imperfect race. “Born in Austria,Hitler served in the German army during World War One.” ( The Holocaust) To him the Jews were an inferior race the needed to be eliminated. He thought that by using anti-semitism he would become more popular with the crowd.
Hitler had thought that the Jews did not believe in the “right” thing so he tried to eliminate the race. He did not want them to believe in what they did and still do. He thought that the Jewish race was inferior and did not mean anything. The way that Hitler treated the Jews were crimes against humanity and I know that many non Jews saw that but did...
In 1934, the death of President Hindenburg of Germany removed the last remaining obstacle for Adolf Hitler to assume power. Soon thereafter, he declared himself President and Fuehrer, which means “supreme leader”. That was just the beginning of what would almost 12 years of Jewish persecution in Germany, mainly because of Hitler’s hatred towards the Jews. It is difficult to doubt that Hitler genuinely feared and hated Jews. His whole existence was driven by an obsessive loathing of them (Hart-Davis 14).
Mengele was born March 16, 1911 in Gunzburg, Germany. Mengele was the oldest of his two brothers Karl Jr. and Alois. Karl Mengele, their father, was a very successful manufacturer of farming tools. Walburga, Josef’s mother, was a mean, cruel lady. She would go to Karl’s factory and would be ruthless to his workers and even to her own husband. Many believe that she was one of the main influences on Josef Mengele. Other main influences in Josef’s life include his hometown and his looks of a Gypsy. Mengele had dark brown hair, eyes, and fairly dark skin. “At school he had endured the mild taunts from his classmates about his ‘Gypsy’ looks...His home town of Gunzburg, especially, was full of folktale about Gypsies coming to kidnap children who misbehaved.” (Posner, Ware 25) Later in his life, Josef got his Ph. D. in Physical Anthropology in 1935 from the University of Munich. Physical Anthropology is the study of the humankind. Two years later, he assisted a scientist physician at the Institute for Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene. This physician was Dr. Otmar von Verschuer; he is famous for his research with twins, which is what inspired Mengele’s work.
