Dr. Josef Mengele and Dr. Shiro Ishii

I am writing about what I think is the most terrible things that one human can possibly do to another human. Let’s go back to 1939, the year that Word War II started. Many people around the world were suffering tremendously, from Germany to Japan and even the United States.
 In Germany Hitler took control and started Nazi camps. This is where the evil and twisted Dr. Josef Mengele, or Angel of Death, took over his evil experiments. Dr. Mengele worked at Auschwitz where he took many victims lives.  The people that he was most interested in where child twins, with the twins he tried to figure of heredity. Another fascination was eye color. He would take eyes and inject them to see if they could change color.  He later fled the camp because he knew it was soon going to be over taken and shut down.
          The next sick and twisted individual is Dr. Shiro Ishii. Ishii was the head of Unit 731, biological and chemical warfare research, where he carried out violent human experiments. Some of the experiments’ that he carried out was he would force pregnant women to have an “abortion”. He would take the women and inject them with different diseases so he could see how the fetus and mother would react to them. He also made it so the prisoners would have strokes, heart attacks, frost bite, and hypothermia.
          I am very disgusted with how and what the Germans and Japanese did to others. They are both equally bad in all ways. In my point of view, they are both terrible. How could you ever do that to someone? Why is it that when one person beholds all power everything turns evil and twisted, then it’s all for one. This was a terrible time in history.

          Nanking was a very eye opening film.  It opened my eyes to all of the terrible things the Japanese did to young women. I cannot imagine what that would have been like to go through those times. The Holocaust was just as bad as what they did to all of the different races. I cannot believe what we humans are capable of.
