Adam's Thoughts

My thoughts on Mr. Josef Menegele are mostly to the bad side. Although he did have scientific breakthroughs on his experiments, he is still a cereal killer. I chose him because one night i was watching the history channel about the twins in South America, and thought he has history behind him and he would make a good world history project. He killed many people that shouldn't have died. Although he killed many people, he is a huge part of our history, and we all should take our time and know it. I hope other people would liked learning about him as much as i did. I learned a mouth full of information on him. Also i learned how the computer works. :)

Mengeles Impact

Mengele has had a giant impact on the world, form the day he was born, til this very day. His experiments killed many people in the 40's,50's, and 60's. His work has brought nothing but harm. His experiments in South America are still in affect. Many of the population have had twins, and are still having twins.He also took a look at people that weren't just twins. Many of his patients just had interesting traits. In example, dwarfs, giants, people with different color eyes. He spent a load of time at the end of the "ramp" guiding you to the "showers" or his special camp. Although dreadful, his attempts gave some benefactors to Doctors of today. They now have a further study on heredity and other genetics.

His Expierments in South America.

Josef Mengele after WWII decided to continue on with his experiments in South America.He was in a small town of Candido Godoi claim that his presence their is confirmed. He decided to come here in continuing of his master race, blonde hair blue eyes. A twins ratio of being board is roughly one in eighty. After Dr. Mengele was through working on his projects the slim ration of one to five was the chance of having twins. Also a boom in pregnancy rates have largely increased in this small town by about 55% since 1960s.
