The Angel of Death was not an event, but a person - Dr. Josef Mengele, general physician at Auschwitz-Birkenau. He performed many cruel and inhuman experiments during his time there, including:

-Making a lampshade from human skin

-Using radiation to sterilize (make Jewish persons unable to reproduce)

-Shooting prisoners to test the effects of various clotting solutions

-Severing limbs to see if he could successfully reattach them

...And many more. Mengele died in a drowning accident in 1979 in Brazil, where he had fled after being extradited by Germany.
