The Holocaust Savagery

Nazism's racist savagery was not just restricted to those presumed
"unsuitable" within Germany's borders, but was aimed at the entire world.
Hitler's dream was the foundation of a German Empire that would rule the
whole world, and to speed up the so-called "evolution of man" by sterilizing all
the "inferior" races on earth. This in fact was a prophecy of Darwin's. In The
Descent of Man, Darwin wrote "At some future period, not very distant as
measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly
exterminate, and replace the savage races of man throughout the world. At the
same time the anthropomorphous [human-like] apes … will no doubt be
exterminated." 96 This duty of fulfilling this prophecy fell upon Hitler.
The plan was set in motion in 1939. With a series of surprise attacks, he
first occupied Poland, followed by Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Holland,
France, Yugoslavia, Greece, North Africa and the Soviet Union. The peoples of
the occupied countries were subjected to terrible cruelty, especially those in the
category of "inferior races" such as the Jews, Slavs and Gypsies. Millions of
people were sent to camps to be used as slave labor. Soon, these camps turned
into extermination camps according to the "Final Solution" adapted at the
notorious Wannsee Conference by Hitler and his associates. The gas chambers
specially designed to kill humans first used carbon monoxide and then Zyklon
B. In the gas chambers and other methods of mass extermination, a total of 5.5
million Jews, 3 million Poles, almost 1 million Gypsies and hundreds of
thousands of prisoners of war from various nations were brutally murdered.
One of the most appalling examples of Nazi savagery were the inhumane
experiments performed by the Nazi officer Josef Mengele on prisoners at the
concentration camp of Auschwitz. Selected adults and children from among the
prisoners were used by Mengele as "guinea pigs" in frightful experiments to
determine the resistance of the human body to extreme hot and cold. People
were forced into water full of ice on bitterly cold winter days in order to see how
long they could survive before freezing. It is known that Mengele carried out
surgical operations on his victims without any anesthetic, and that they were cut
open wide awake. His cruelest experiments were carried out on twins who
arrived at the camp. Mengele kept all twins apart from the rest of the camp and
measured the effect of physical factors by performing different experiments on
them. The methods he employed were incredibly barbaric. He injected twins
with each others' blood and measured their reaction, and most of the time one
or both of the twins suffered from violent headaches and high temperatures.
