THE atrocities of one the most reviled figures of Holocaust history, Dr. Josef Mengele, have been proven to be hoaxes, according to a former director of the Museum of Jewish Heritage.

In a new book, David G. Marwell argues not only that Mengele did not perform gruesome operations on the inmates of Auschwitz, but that he saved many Jewish lives. According to Eric Striker at Unz Review:

Marwell’s work is considered the most well-researched mainstream biography of Mengele to date. In it, he cross references witness testimony from “survivors” with hard evidence and primary sources, only to conclude that their “memories” were “unreliable.” In other words, they [were] lying.

Stitching together humans to create siamese twins, smashing babies against train cars, attempts to transform boys into girls – all of the barbarism etched into the popular mind about a German in a labcoat, Marwell concludes, is nothing but a pack of atrocious hoaxes.

[…]

By and large, the book admits that what is commonly known about Mengele is fiction constructed by rumors, novels and Hollywood which have been held as true thanks to Jewish “eyewitnesses” substantiating the hoaxes post-hoc.

Mengele’s main achievement at the camp, which Marwell credits him for, was containing and preventing a massive outbreak of typhus at Auschwitz in difficult circumstances. Alex McNabb had previously written about this, and was attacked by Zionist commentators for it. This saved thousands of lives, Jewish and Gentile alike. Mengele was not motivated by hate and sadism.

Hadding Scott wrote in 2017:

If anything is certain about Josef Mengele, it is that he was not the monster that mass-media represented. In fact he was a man hounded and oppressed by reckless propaganda, culminating in Hollywood’s depiction of him as the wealthy mastermind of a global Nazi conspiracy in The Boys from Brazil (1978) the year before his death.

The worst of the accusations against Mengele, that he selected 2 ½ million victims for gassing at Auschwitz (repeated in The Boys from Brazil), had the legs knocked out from under it by the Leuchter Report in 1988. Even those who still insist that mass-murder by gas happened at Auschwitz admit that the 2 ½ million figure is impossible.

The accusations of medical experiments against Mengele are also quite ridiculous, among them the claim that this trained physician had tried, as an (entirely pointless) experiment, to turn brown eyes blue by injecting dye into them. Even before 1988, the improbability of such an accusation was noted by historian cum newspaper-columnist Jeffrey Hart.

The cinematic representation of Mengele’s life in South America, as the opulent leader of a global Nazi conspiracy, was just as unrelated to reality as the portrayal of his activities at Auschwitz. Because the university that issued his M.D. and Ph.D. had for political reasons revoked them, Mengele was no longer able to practice medicine and sank into poverty.
