Josef Mengele was a German physician and SS officer during World War II. He was born in 1911 in Günzburg, Bavaria, Germany. Mengele is infamously known for his role as the "Angel of Death" at the Auschwitz camp, where he conducted cruel and deadly experiments on prisoners, particularly on twins and children.

During his time at Auschwitz from 1943 to 1945, Mengele selected prisoners for the gas chambers, conducted gruesome medical experiments on inmates, and engaged in various acts of cruelty and sadism. His experiments were conducted without regard for the victims' well-being or consent, causing immense suffering and death to many innocent people.

After World War II ended, Mengele escaped capture by the Allies and lived under various aliases in South America. He first fled to Argentina, where he lived for several years, before moving to Paraguay and later Brazil. He evaded justice despite being hunted by Nazi hunters and international authorities for his war crimes.There are differing accounts and unconfirmed reports surrounding Mengele's death. The most widely accepted theory is that Josef Mengele died in 1979 in Brazil after a stroke while swimming. He reportedly drowned and was buried under his real name. His remains were later exhumed and identified through DNA testing in 1985, confirming his death.
