Josef MengeleQuestion
Brian Harmon answers:Hello, I'm one of the question-answerers for the Holocaust History Project.My first suggestion is to get hold of Robert Jay Lifton's The Nazi Doctors. This book covers Mengele in some detail and also includes insight into his psychology. (Lifton is a psychologist). Miklos Nyiszli was a camp inmate who worked under Dr. Mengele, his memoirs were published as Auschwitz; a doctor's eyewitness account. This is a more first-hand account than the previous book. Yisrael Gutman also wrote a book on Josef Mengele entitled: Angel of Death: The Untold Story of Josef Mengele. I haven't read this book, so I can't offer you much more than the title. Were his medical experiments published in the U.S.? I don't think so. I searched the University of California Library database and didn't turn up anything authored by Josef Mengele. There was a search for Josef Mengele in the 1980s. Sometime in the early 90s it was determined that skeletal remains found were his; I've included references to two U.S. Government documents and an article in Science that discuss this matter in more detail.
