    Bad Science On Monday, November 15th, 1982 the New York Times published an article entitled "Out of Death, a Zest for Life". The title caught my eye because it seemed to be the only one that didn't have to do with politics, the economy, or terrorism.

    THE ANGEL OF DEATH Some of the most enduring images of Auschwitz are the terrible scenes of the arrival of a transport of Jews to that concentration camp. Amid the chaos and despair stood a lone figure in immaculate uniform and spotless white gloves inspecting the inmates and waving each in turn to one side or the other with his riding crop. To one side lay starvation, brutality, and deprivation but a chance for survival. To the other side, instant death in the gas chambers. The frightening figu...

Conger Kassai's character, David, escaped prison in Poland and returned to Czechoslovakia where he thought that someone could help him. He is taken in by his former employee (Bole k Polivka, w...
  • Dr Josef Mengele

    Mengele, "The Angel of Death" Dr. Josef Mengele was rightfully named "The Angel of Death" due to his major and infamous involvement in the tragedy of the Auschwitz concentration camps.
