Ostensibly Mengele was originally challenged with disease-research, but he became obsessed with twins. He believed that if he could identify what causes twins, he would be able to create future stormtroopers for Germany more efficiently, if every pregnancy produced two babies and not one, there would be double the workforce. Some twins survived his research, about 100, but most died, at least 400 and possibly upto 1000, besides the adult population also that Mengele was responsible for the deaths of. Mengele and others were fond of injecting or contaminating subjects with life-threatening or serious diseases and studying the effects, but largely he was obsessed with twins. After the war he was believed to have moved to a particular area of South America because there was an abnormal percentage of twins in that village and it was believed that Mengele had moved to that village for that reason.

Is it wrong to give a Jewish girl a book about the holocaust?

No. It is perfectly alright to give a Jewish girl a book about the Holocaust, provided it is an accurate book about the Holocaust (as opposed to a Holocaust Denial book). However, bear in mind that the Holocaust is a depressing topic and so it might be less than optimal to give a Holocaust book as a present on a special occasion.
