Josef Mengele was born in 1911 in the Bavarian village of Gunzburg, Germany. Josef's parents were devout Catholics, and saw to it that he and his two brothers were raised accordingly. Mengele had always dreamed of a career in science and anthropology. In 1930, he graduated from high school and was accepted to the University of Munich. Munich is the capital of Bavaria, and was at that time the center of the National Socialist movement.

Rather he enjoyed the power in deciding who died and when. Some psychiatrists believe that Mengele didn't take pleasure in inflicting pain. He castrated men and boys without anesthetic. " This does not mean, however, that they were spared. Other twins had limbs removed without anesthetic.
