Line 8: ===Dr. Mengele's Twin Experiments=== ~~Twin~~Experiments ~~experiments~~on twin children in concentration camps were created to show the similarities and differences in the genetics and eugenics of twins, as well as to see if the human body can be unnaturally manipulated. The central leader of the experiments was Dr. Josef Mengele, who performed experiments on over 1,500 sets of imprisoned twins, of which less than 200 individuals survived the studies.<ref>http://www.longwood.k12.ny.us/lhs/science/mos/twins/mengele.html</ref> While attending University of Munich, located in the city that remained one of Adolf Hitler’s focal points during the revolution, for Philosophy and Medicine with an emphasis on Anthropology and Paleontology , Mengele got swept up in the Nazi hysteria and even said that "this [fascist] simple political concept finally became the decisive factor in my life."<ref>http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/history/mengele/nazi_3.html</ref> Mengele’s newfound admiration for the "simple political concept" led him to mix his studies of medicine and politics as his career choice. Mengele received his PhD for his thesis entitled "Racial Morphological Research on the Lower Jaw Section of Four Racial Groups,” which suggested that one could define a person’s race by the shape of his or her jaw.<ref name=Wyschogrod>Wyschogrod, Edith.

The twins were arranged by age and sex and kept in barracks in between the test, which ranged from the injection of different chemicals into the eyes of the twins to see if it would change their colors to literally sewing the twins together in hopes of creating conjoined twins.<ref>http://history1900s.about.com/od/auschwitz/a/mengeletwins.htm</ref> <ref>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51880</ref>
