“In fact, as Italian historian Carlo Mattogno (pictured) has shown in his paper on Mengele’s twin research, there are three facts which clearly prove that Mengele did not commit any crimes on those twins: 1.All the surviving paperwork clearly shows that his research was limited to anthropological and behavioral studies, but did not include any surgical or other intrusive procedures. 2.All the twins enlisted for his research were enrolled in that program for months on end, with none of them ever dying. 3.Most of those involved – the twins as well as Mengele’s inmate assistants – survived Auschwitz and the war.”

Mengele’s main achievement at the camp, which Marwell credits him for, was containing and preventing a massive outbreak of typhus at Auschwitz in difficult circumstances. This saved thousands of lives, Jewish and Gentile alike. Mengele was not motivated by hate and sadism. His most intimate letters and confessions show only a passion for advancing medical science.”

”The most horrific charges made against Mengele, such as the tale that he tossed live babies into ovens, are sick and absurd fables that contradict what is known about the doctor’s character. For example, as Time magazine reported (June 24, 1985), Mengele was “given to occasional flourishes of gallantry: after transferring a pregnant Jewish doctor to Cracow to do research for him, Mengele sent her flowers upon the birth of her son.”
