...the prisoners also resulted in death. Dr. Mengele, the man who had done taboo medical experiments on prisoners. This is the life of Josef Mengele from his life as a young individual, to becoming a very well known “doctor”, to becoming a wanted victim. This is the Angel of Death. Born on March 16, 1911 in Gunzburg , Josef Mengele was the oldest son of Karl Mengele. He lived in an upper middle class family which ran a machine tool business. His family was described as a “Strict Catholic” family. His peers in the town he lived in would describe Mengele as an intelligent and popular person. “A young person with intelligence but more or less ordinary” were the words of description from a close relative. From a very young age Josef Mengele was interested in the racial theories of Alfred Rosenberp, a philosopher of National Socialism. In 1935 Mengele graduated from the University of Munich with a Ph. D in physical anthropology. After graduating he got into believing racism towards Jews. Two years later he became an assistant of Dr. Omar Von Verschuer who was most and commonly known for researching twins. He then served as a medical officer in the beginning of World War II with the invasion of the Soviet Union, he redeemed four medals for his actions. That same year he joined the Nazi Party. Mengele was then transferred to Auschwitz in which he was most closely with selection duty than any other medical officer in Auschwitz. When Josef Mengele became a medical officer in Auschwitz...

...Auschwitz was created in May 1940 on the site of a deserted Polish army barracks. The first transport of Polish political prisoners arrived by railroad on June 14, 1940 (BBC, 2013). All three camps, Auschwitz I, II, and III had different methods. However, their purpose was the same and that was to kill as many as possible. Auschwitz I, was the first and main camp. It was constructed to incarcerate real and perceived enemies of the Nazi regime. It was also constructed to have an available supply of forced laborers and to physically eliminate targeted groups of the population. Auschwitz I was a death camp that had a gas chamber and crematorium (Museum, 2013). Medical experiments were also carried out in the hospital by SS Captain Dr. Josef Mengele. There was the “Black Wall” where SS guards executed thousands of prisoners. The shooting of women and children here began to cause troops psychological damage. As a result a larger permanent gas chamber was constructed to make the killings more systematic and impersonal. A Star of David was placed above the entrance to the gas chamber. A sign painted in Hebrew said “This is the Gateway to God. Righteous men will pass through” was placed on a curtain covering the chamber’s entrance (BBC, Auschwitz- facts: BBC, 2013). The main camp’s population grew from 18,000 in December 1942 to 30,000 in March 1943 (Organization, 2013). The Auschwitz concentration camp was the largest complex made up of three main camps (Museum, 2013). It was...

...Mengele’s Experiments The Jewish Josef Mengele asked the Jewish people for doctors. About fifty moved forward. Then he asked the fifty doctors if they studied pathology and forensic medicine, but only Doctor Nyiszli moved forward. That gave Doctor Nyiszli a place as Mengele’s personal research pathologist. Mengele used Doctor Nyiszli by making him dissect the bodies of Mengele’s experimental victims, just so Mengele could learn more about the Jewish people (Deem X). Doctor Joseph Mengele did terrible things to the Jewish people, such as using one of the Jewish to conduct his experiments on the Jews and his notorious twin experiments, Doctor Mengele conducted a possible seventy different medical research projects during the Holocaust....

...purely visual stimulation, many times it takes a keen eye to delve further into the reason the movie was made in the first place. This supposition can be pulled into play in the case of The Human Centipede, a graphic independent horror film written by Dutch filmmaker Tom Six. Despite the general presumption that the movie was produced for shock value and shock value alone, a deeper look into setting, themes, and casting reveals a film that holds much greater social value than recognized by most. The movie begins chronicling the ventures of two American women, visiting the country of Germany. After their car breaks down in the middle of a virtually uninhabited forest (typical), the women end up finding their way to the isolated house of Dr. Josef Heiter, who ultimately sedates and binds the women. Around the same time, Heiter captures a Japanese man, and holds him captive with the women in his basement. While at this point it is...

...where she met and married my father. but once she became pregnant she returned to Germany. My Opa passed away two days before I was born and even though I never got to meet him, I am proud to be his granddaughter. When I was approximately six weeks old my mother flew back to the states and reunited with my father. I was raised in the swampy state of Louisiana until my 14th birthday. My present was a one-way ticket to Neufarhn, Germany where I was to meet and live with my Oma. It was over the next 3.5 years that I had the privilege of getting to know my Oma, the woman that continues to inspire me to this day. A few days after my arrival, my Oma showed me a photo that she had taken during WWII. In the photo was Adolf Hitler, Dr. Josef Mengele and various Nazi Generals, laughing and smiling while eating dinner in our family restaurant, which is still in business. They were seated at a large round table with a miniature christmas tree as the centerpiece. She tells me that, unbeknownst to the Nazi’s, there was a Jewish family hiding beneath them, in the basement. Tears fell down her face as she spoke about how terrified she was of being caught as she would sneak them food and water. Listening to her stories of war, poverty, and struggle, I didn’t realize I was crying until I felt her arms embrace me and squeeze...

...In the movie “Crimson Tide” the two main characters, the Executive Officer and the Captain, both possess ignorance on what should be the right thing to do for SS Alabama. The captain possesses invincible ignorance and the executive officer possesses vincible ignorance which afterwards shifted to invincible ignorance. The captain’s duty as the chief of SS Alabama is to carry out whatever mission given to him by the command post. He should carry out his mission at all cost even if he needs to make his subordinate undergo very strict measures. As the chief of SS Alabama, everyone depends on him that he shouldn’t perform mistakes in delivering protocols for if he committed a mistake he might risk the lives of the crew of the submarine. Because of this, the captain becomes ignorant of what is the proper thing to do. He has always remained true to his duty as the chief of the submarine which blinded him of the truth. His ignorance is invincible because his doings are based on his responsibility as the captain. He need to execute every protocol to him because it is his duty to do so, it will be hard for him to dispel this because there are lives that would be risked if he failed to accomplish his duty. He also need to response quickly on protocols for the sake of Alabama, he is not aware that he needed enlightenment. On the other hand Executive Officer possesses vincible ignorance. His duty was to repeat the duty of the captain in order to concur the protocols. At the movie he seemed...

...How Representation of James Bond characters has changed since October 5th 1962 ‘007 licenced to kill, HM Secret Service agent’ ‘The description or portrayal of someone or something in a particular way.’ (Wikipedia descriptions) The above description defines the word ‘representation’ in a way in which can be understood by anyone. The term has a whole new level of meanings that would take more than twelve words to describe and that which I plan to go into in-depth detail about. This case study will map out why the term ‘representation’ is so prominent in the ongoing fifty-year old thriller sequel, James Bond, how influential it can be on a persons opinion, and the way in which it shapes a whole film. Representation may or may not have shaped not only the way we see the characters but the way in which we look at features after the film has been made, for example, do we view stockbrokers on Wall Street the same now as we did before the Oscar winning film ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ was produced? Or do we assume that every secret agent is just like James Bond? Michael Wilson, producer of Skyfall and screenwriter of many of the 007 films, says: ‘the film character of James Bond is always dependent on the actor who plays him and the time at which the film is made because Bond always lives in the contemporary time the films are made.’ The representation of characters in films is vital to how we view a film and whether we take an instant like or dislike to the character....

...Star ... JetStar Bond ... James Bond. Anything sounds cool when you say it like Sean Connery. Right? For example, say this out loud in a semi-Scottish accent, "Cards ... Playing Cards." It's even cooler when you see James Bond actually playing with cards. It's as if Bond confirms something we all know. Pasteboards are hip and in style. And while Q hasn't invented anything subversive with fifty-two pieces of paper and two jokers, we can only continue to hope. For now though, let's just relish in the fact that James Bond has featured several different types of cards throughout the illustrious franchise. The aim of this piece isn't to catalog every deck the MI6 agent has ever played with. While that would make for a wonderful article, I'd like to discuss one deck in particular that was supposedly seen in the 1964 box-office smash hit GOLDFINGER. Before your read any further though, close your eyes and think of all the types of decks used in the academy award winning Bond flick. For those of you who immediately conjure up the thought of a cheating Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) and his unaware opponent playing a game of Gin using a red deck of Aristocrat 727 Banknote playing cards poolside in Miami at the Fontainebleau Hotel, then you have a great memory! However, the cards in question are not the famous High Finished Aristocrats. What? There's another deck in this movie? Apparently. A deck of cards is supposedly shown in a scene on a Lockheed JetStar airplane that's piloted...

...Josef Mengele University of Phoenix Abstract: An overview of Josef Mengele, a man who became known as the “Angel of Death” for what he did to prisoners in the Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Germany during WWII in his quest to create a superior race of people for his superior; Adolf Hitler. Included is also how Mengele mistreated the Hippocratic Oath for preventing harm to people and ways in which he did mistreat his power and how he escaped imprisonment before the war ended and where he continued performing experiments even after he eluded capture and found refuge in Brazil until his death in 1975. Josef Mengele Although he was not part of the Nuremberg Trials, this man was responsible for everything preceding the trials. He developed the experiments that would become known as the crimes against humanity in which the Nuremberg Trials were started. This man was nicknamed the “Angel of Death” because of the cruel and bizarre experiments he did on humans in concentration camps during the reign of Hitler in Germany. The real name for this “Angel of Death” was Josef Mengele. He was responsible for performing experiments on people in the Auschwitz concentration camp and other camps in which he had access. Mengele would then report his findings back to Hitler and continue his work without remorse. It was as though Mengele enjoyed destroying life and by the time the Nuremberg trials started, Mengele had fled the country and continued his brutal experiments. He...

...burundanga. They’re sure to tell you some horror story about the drug. They’ll tell stories of victims who willingly handed over their wallets and PINs, or visit the bank with their captors and withdraw huge amounts of cash. They also take the thieves to their home and casually help them load all their possessions into a truck. Sound scary? That’s because it’s supposed to. The borrachero is real and dangerous. The active substance is scopolamine and is extracted from the Bugmansia plant, also known as Angel’s Trumpet, which grows wild throughout the Andes. The stories about criminals chemically making people compliant are an urban myth. There’s plenty of mystery surrounding scopolamine and it’s ability to create submission. Nazi doctor Joseph Mengele, known as the “Angel of Death”, supposedly experimented with the drug as an questioning aid. The CIA had a similar idea and investigated it as a truth serum, but it was unsuccessful. It’s mentioned in a number of Hollywood movies, including “Where Eagles Dare”, “The Guns of Navarone” and “Robocop 2”. So it’s not surprising that scopolamine pops up in the international press every once in a while. There are stories of politicians forced into smuggling suitcases of cocaine; men who handed over all their money to prostitutes; or the jeweler who gave away all his stock because of a scopolamine-laced business card. They’re the kind of stories you’d definitely pass on to other travelers to warn someone about the dangers of people who...

This essay will cover the unbelievable lives these children had to live and the horrible pain they had to undergo threw this war of extermination. They suffered losses of family, friends, and many became orphaned or homeless. The holocaust took the lives of about 6 million Jewish men, women, and children. There were about 1.6 million Jewish children consisting from infants to teens living in Europe around the start of World War 2. Only about 11 percent of this range of children made it through the war. A lot of the parents chose to hide their children so they would have a better chance of surviving. The Jewish children were extremely discriminated against and were terribly affected by the Holocaust. Jewish children, along with their families, experienced persecution of revocation of citizenship, reduction of food ration, confiscations, deprivation of schooling and restricted access to public institutions. Many people could not figure out why the Jewish children were hated, or why they had to be prisoners. These children were left homeless and many orphaned. They had seen the Nazis murder their parents, siblings, relatives, and close friends. They had to endure starvation, sickness, and awful labor and other brutal acts until they were sent to gas chambers at the camps. Hiding a child...
