The best known docter at Auschwitz was Josef
Mengele. His experiments were mostly done on twins and
dwarfs. He did lots of things that had to do with seeing
how ling it would take a person to die if you do this or
that. He also did experiments that had to do with cutting
off body parts, and reattaaching them to different parts of
the body. By January 20th, 1944, the population of the
Aushwitz complex had reached 80,839. That number rose up
and up as the monthes past and more prisoners came. The
first gas chamber to be used was bult in Auschwitz I. The
gas that was used in the chambers was called Zyklon B. In
Birkinau, the largest number of people that could be killed
in the gas chambers was 6,000 people daily. The gas
chambers lookes just like shower rooms. The prisoners were
told they needed to be cleaned before work, and were then
killed in the stalls. On the borders of Auschwitz I and
Birkinau, electrical fences were put up. Watchtowers and
S.S. men lined the complex with automatic guns to be used
in any escape situations. Canals also lined the border of
Birkinau. Starting in March of 1942, trains arrived at
Auschwitz-Birkinau daily, carrying Jews from Europe. The
prisoners anger and rebelion to the Nazis was always there,
but only a few people decided to do anthing though. In the
most difficult times, 667 prisoners tried to escape. Only
270 of them made it, and the ones who got caught were
executed. Jewish leaders wanted to have the Allied powers
bomb Auschwitz at one time. This never did happen though. A
group of women at the camp destroyed one of the gas
chambers in an uprise. The leaders of the uproar were found
and executd on January 6th, 1945.

How many he personally killed is unknown. He worked 21 months deciding who would work and who would be gassed immediately taking turns with the other SS physicians at Auschwitz. At 6000 people a day...do the math if you care. I shudder the thought

After that he did extensive research on people...not hesitating to get them killed to do an autopsy.

No set sure numbers are known. 400.000 is assumed.

Auschwitz-Birkenau Mengele chosen incoming Jews for labour or extermination, turning out to be hassle-loose by way of fact the "Angel of dying," and performed medical experiments on inmates in pseudoscientific racial study.

I don't think that question could be answered with any certainty. He performed gruesome medical experiments on people. Some died as direct result, others were sent to the gas chambers when he was finished with them. He certianly had a direct role in hundreds of deaths.

No one knows the exact number....it could be from a few thousand he personally handled to millions his underlings have done in other camps have done....just note....The Jews were not the only ones committed to camps...anyone that was disabled(mentally and physically), and those deemed traitors or enemy of the state were also sent to camps.
