Twins
Mengele was obsessive and fanatical about drawing blood from twins, especially identical twins. One night he gathered 14 gypsy twins and injected chloroform into their hearts, killing them instantly. He then dissected each of them while taking notes on every piece of their body. He supervised an operation where two gypsy twins were sewn together to create siamese twins.
Strangely, twins that went through the experiments remember him as a kind and gentle man who befriended them and gave them chocolates. Since many of the children were separated from their families right after entering the camp he was seen as a fatherly figure. Several of the older children saw it as deception. Of course, there was still tension that they could be killed at any time.
