Josef Mengele: The Angel of Death

Hello everyone. We've been experimenting with a bit of a podcast (a few people were asking for audio versions so they can get Biographics while doing other things)! Fair warning: none of these are new biographies, but rather me having a bit more of a free form chat around the script. I'd love to know what you think, if these are useful, wanted etc :). Thanks, Simon.

As I’ve gotten older Ive realized just how recent all of this happened. 80 years ago...that is nothing.

The most depressing part is that he got to live out his life in peace in Brazil. The most sick Nazi, literally got the easiest way out at the end. So infuriating

The story of the 15 year old Transylvanian girl is literally the most disturbing and disheartening thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I’ve never had such a strong feeling of sadness from a story before in my life, I’m normally able to separate my emotions from these tragedies but that story made me physically sick.

I met a holocaust survivor once and saw the numbers on her arm. Her story was horrific. Just before liberation by the Russians. Her mother was shot to death in front of her. Absolutely horrific

when I was in high school we had a seminar with a holocaust survivor, which is rare because we are brazilian. And let me tell you, I NEVER heard a group of teens in such a deep silence in my life like the moment the old sir described how, by pure luck, he survived Mengele. He said something among the lines of "I looked up and saw the angel of death, and just because he pointed in another direction, I lived." His story was long and full of horrors, but that part is still stuck with me. (I think his name was Julio Gartner, sadly he passed away a few years ago)

Life is not fair. Even if he wouldve been caught and brought to trial, there is no punishment that would be equal to his crime.

Ooouugh. Hearing that he gave treats to his twins and feigned compassion, while planning to perform horrible, deadly experiments on them, is stomach-churning. It shows a complete lack of any sort of hesitation or self-questioning. It's so inhuman. This man wasn't just a psychopath, he was pure *evil*. If anyone was making the human race "impure," it's people like him.

He died in 1979 ! ! And people knew where he was. He even used his real name. Someone should have done something. The man was more than pure evil and lived his days in freedom.

He actually looked like the stereotypical crazy doctor when he's old.

The most disturbing part of this video was learning he died of natural causes instead of being slowly tortured to death.

I've never knew that monster lived his last days in Brazil, it's a shame he never got accounted for his actions. My grandfather, who was born in Spain and survived a nazi concentration camp escaped to Brazil and lived his intire life in São Paulo, it's disgusting to me how they both coexisted in the same state at some point.... That monster was so close to him.

As a twin this really hits me hard. I don’t know what i would do without my brother. And idk how a man becomes so twisted. He deserves the hell that will come to him.

The fact that he lived to old age is infuriating

The man was a sadist that enjoyed every minute. If there was a hell, he’ll have a special seat.

Something I noticed in the tone of your voice in this story about this monster, Simon. Unlike your other Bio. stories where you have a sort of up-beat/fanciful tone of voice, and hand gestures your nearly dead-pan, low volume tone of your voice and no hand gestures at telling the story of this creature gives a hint to what had to be the utter horror at telling the story of Mengele the Monster. The difference was striking, and I must say, totally called for. I don't think there are words in English or any other language that can properly convey the sheer horror of this evil humans' treatment of the Jews in the camps. WELL DONE Simon. 👌👌👌

A very detailed and well made video! I had no idea about his history and the true extent of his evil, it’s absolutely shocking.

"He would take the mothers breasts, so she could watch her baby starve to death" That sentence has horrified me and it gave me chills, I feel so unbelievably sad

It hurts just to imagine the sufferings of his victims. It hurts deeply.

As mentioned in this video, a woman who had just given birth had her breasts bound so she couldn’t feed her baby. Doctor mengele did this to see how long the baby would last without food. A nurse took pity on the mother after a few days and gave her a syringe of morphine to put the baby out of their misery
