1933- 1934
The Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring, was established on
July 14, 1933, it required physicians to register every case of hereditary illness,
Physicians could be fined for failing to comply.
1934 was the first year of the Law's operation, 4,000 people appealed against the
decisions of sterilization authorities, but 3,559 of the appeals failed. By the end of
the Nazi regime, 200 Hereditary Health Courts were created resulting in the
sterilization of 400,000 people.

The Hadamar Clinic was a mental hospital in the German town of Hadamar, which was used by the
Nazi-controlled German government as the site of their T-4 Euthanasia Program. The Kaiser
Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics was founded in 1927.

Lebensborn
-A Lebensborn birth house
Initially set up in Germany in 1935, Lebensborn expanded into occupied
countries in western and northern Europe during the Second World War. In line
with the racial and eugenic policies of Nazi Germany, the Lebensborn program
was restricted to individuals who were thought to be "biologically fit" and "racially
pure", "Aryans", and to SS members. In occupied countries, thousands of
women faced social discrimination because they were in relationships with
German soldiers and had become pregnant, had few alternatives other than
applying for help with Lebensborn.
1943
In May 1943, Mengele replaced another doctor who had
fallen ill at the Nazi extermination camp Birkenau. On May
24, 1943, he became medical officer of Auschwitz-Birkenau's
"Gypsy camp". In August 1944, this camp was liquidated and
all its inmates gassed.
During his 21-month stay at Auschwitz, Mengele
earned the sobriquet "Angel of Death" for the cruelty he
visited upon prisoners. Mengele took turns with the other SS
physicians at Auschwitz in meeting incoming prisoners at the
camp, where it was determined who would be retained for
work and who would be sent to the gas chambers
immediately. In one instance, he drew a line on the wall of
the children's block 150 centimeters (about 5 feet) from the
floor, and sent those whose heads could not reach the line to
the gas chamber.

The SS abandoned the Auschwitz camp on January 27, 1945, and
Mengele transferred to Groß Rosen camp in Lower Silesia, again
working as camp physician. Groß Rosen was dissolved at the end of
February when the Red Army was close to taking it. Mengele worked in
other camps for a short time and, on May 2, joined a Wehrmacht
medical unit led by Hans Otto Kahler, his former colleague at the
Institute of Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene in Bohemia.
