Throughout his life, twins, especially identical, had captivated Mengele. He took this interest and applied it to get his career in anthropology. The University of Munich noticed and accepted him into their school. He graduated with a major in Philosophy Medicine. Later, he joined the Nazi party and was led by Adolf Hitler. Hitler, being his leader in this party, most likely had a negative influence on his development. Another group, the Steel Helmets, shared the same beliefs as the Nazi’s. He joined in this group and became mesmerized with genetics. Many experiences allowed him to become closer to his interests. When the SS war broke out, he got volunteered to take part as the doctor. During this time, he was wounded and was forced to go back home. This didn’t stop him though. A position opened up and he went for it. Mengele became a research assistant in 1937, which took place at the Institute for Heredity University in Frankfurt. He worked for a professor named Otmar Von Verschuer. He idled him to a point where he would do anything to praise him. In 1943, Mengele was given an assignment to go to a concentration camp (human suffering and death camp) in Poland. There, he was supposed to research and experiment on human genetics. His experiments got out of control and only made the suffering worse. From that moment on, he was seen as a murderer. The children who went there may have known him as a fatherly figure, but deep down, he was an angel of death.
