Was joseF mengele a psychopath

Answer 1

Not necessarily. Hitlers Anti-Jewish Propagnda in the 1930's coupled with anti-Semitic feelings that already existed in Europe helped dehumanize the victims of these experiements. There were no apparent signs of aberrant behaviours in him before Auschwitz. Like most Nazi's he was delusional and believed the general wisdom of his time was scientific which included the belief that the Jews were less than human. I would say that Joeseph Mengele was an ordinary man who did extraordinarily evil things. This is a disturbing Idea because It reveals what mentaly healthy individuals can be capable of under bizarre circumstances.
