Richard Baer, Dr Josef Mengele and Rudolf Höss relax at Solahütte.

Mengele was promoted to be head doctor in Birkenau, where he was nicknamed the ‘Good Uncle’ because he used his charm to get his patients’ trust, many of them children. But he had nothing but contempt for them and often experimented on twins, killing one after the other died, so he could carry out comparative autopsies. Myklos Nyiszli was a Hungarian prisoner, qualified in forensic medicine. He worked for Dr Mengele from May 1944 to January 1945, performing autopsies, writing up notes and preserving organs. He was also the Sonderkommando’s doctor.

SS-Hauptsturmführer August Hirt was chairman of the Institute for Scientific Research, a department of the Ancestral Heritage organization (the Ahnenerbe) which carried out medical experiments on prisoners in an attempt to prove the superiority of the Aryan race. In 1943 SS Doctor Bruno Beger, a racial anthropologist working for the Ahnenerbe, visited Auschwitz to select prisoners as potential ‘specimens’; nearly ninety were gassed in Natzweiler concentration camp and their bodies were preserved.
