Angel of Death
They called him “The Angel of Death.” Born March 16, 1911, Dr. Josef Mengele, the oldest of 3 sons, would grow up to be a surviving symbol of Adolf Hitler. He spent 21 months at Auschwitz performing “long-drawn-out rituals of death.” Mengele was the head of the gas chambers and the crematoria. He would sort hiss victims, mostly children, out through processes such as drawing lines across the walls of their blocks. These lines would be around 150 to 156 centimeters (about 5 feet) and if the top of the child’s head did not reach the line they were sent to be gassed. Mengele was responsible for the death of around four hundred thousand souls. He was famous for the medical experiments he preformed on the Jewish people. He would do experiments such as take twins and inject their hearts with chloroform, killing them instantly, and then dissect them. He experimented on children trying to do this like chemically change their eye color, or sew them together in hopes to create Saimses twins Due to Mengele’s particular interest in twins the three thousand some twins who came through Auchwitz were treated better then most other Jews. He would often give the children chocolates and some surviving twins say he was almost like a father figure, and some even called him Uncle Mengele. “The Angel of Death” died in 1979 in South America, and in 1992 they confirmed the remains to be that of Mengele.This man was one who inflicted pain and agony, although making some amazing medical advancements. He was pretty much a turd face.

Hannah, I learned a lot from your lovely post. Who knew all the terrible things that he did? Why did he like experimenting on twins the most? The best sentence was definitely the last one, it was a great decription! Nice job!
I was just joking about the last sentence, but it sure did make me laugh. I love all the information your paragraph gave. I believe it was very well written and that you informed the reader on the topic you were talking about. I enjoyed reading it.
Hannah, I also learned alot from this paragraph even though I did Dr Mengele to, there were some things I left out in my paragraph that you have in yours. I also like the way you ended it!
