6.+Victim+Relief+during+Testing

There was no relief for the victims of medical experimentation. Open stomach surgeries were performed by Dr. Josef Mengele (with whom Elie Wiesel made acquaintances at Auschwitz) without anesthesia. D r.Herta Oberheuser tried to simulate wounds of the German soldiers on the Jewish victims. After creating the wound, she would rub nails, sawdust, slivers of glass and other unsterilized objects in to it to make them almost identical to the soldiers' wounds. None of these victims were given painkillers, anesthesia or worst of all, mercy. (Bulow) Dr. Josef Mengele (a.k.a. The Angel of Death) (Polar)
