Josh Ms. G Dr. Josef Mengele followed the Nazi beliefs. In 1938, he became a fully fledge member of the Nazi Party. Mengele was a licensed doctor of Medicink and Auschwitz Nazi Concentration Camps. In the camps Mengele did experiments on Jews and other prisoners. Most of the prisoners died from the experiments . He would often just kill people so he could dissect them. Lethal gas was a Nazi method for mass murder. The gas chamber was first used in December 1939. This was when a SS special commando used carbon monoxide to kill Polish mental patients. The first chambers were put up at Beyzec concentration camp. When the prisoners were led into them, they thought they were taking showers. But the sad reality is they were walking into their own death. Over 2,500 people fit into one chamber . It would only take an hour to kill them.

When the Jews lived in these ghettos, they were forced to wear badges. The Jewish people were made to live in filth and there was lots of disease that existed in these ghettos. They were always hungry because there was little or no employment for the residence. Jewish police forces were established to maintain order. They would often have concerts and lectures to help keep them connected. These events were well attended.
