Mengele promoted medical experimentation on inmates, especially dwarfs and twins. He is said to have supervised an operation by which two Gypsy children were sewn together to create Siamses twins; the hands of the children became badly infected where the veins had been resected.

…infamous Doctor Mengele was dead. People didn't find out until the mid-1980's that Mengele was dead, I think that's quite fitting to the seemingly ever-present Josef Mengele. People say that they saw Mengele at the selection night and day. He was a mythological creature at Auschwitz, he could come at any time day or night to take test subjects from the barracks. Mengele was the symbol of the Nazis, evil, lurking, and always there.
