Mengele sent heterochromous Gypsy eyes to Magnussen, extracted from the bodies of inmates who died or he killed.
Mengele injected adrenaline into children's eyes in an attempt to change eye color and to study environmental influences. Mengele was undoubtedly influenced to conduct these human experiments by his great ambition to publish to obtain academic promotion. She was not immediately recognised as a twin and was initially sent off in the direction of the gas chamber - when her sister told Mengele they were twins he had her brought to his laboratory.
Josef Mengele was an assistant to a well-known researcher who studied twins at the Institute for Heredity Biology and Racial Hygiene in Frankfurt - he started working at Auschwitz in May There he had an unlimited supply of twins to study, and he wouldn't get in trouble if they died. He believes many of the twins survived Auschwitz, although he thinks Roma twins were almost certainly killed.
Jona Laks says Mengele removed organs from people without anaesthetic, and if one twin died the other would be murdered. Vera Kriegel says that he killed people with an injection to the heart, and then dissected them. She remembers being ushered into his laboratory. A wall of blue eyes, brown eyes, green eyes. These eyes they were staring at me like a collection of butterflies and I fell down on the floor.
The first experiment she was subjected to involved being kept in a small wooden cage with her sister and being given painful injections in her back - she doesn't know why, but thinks it may have been an attempt to change the colour of her eyes. In another experiment, she says, the pair of them and more than other twins were given injections of bacteria that cause Noma disease - an infection of the mouth or genitals, which causes boils and often turns gangrenous.
Some twins became feverish, and some died, she says. She also remembers Mengele reacting angrily when twins went missing - once when this had happened she stared him out to prove he could not completely dominate her. As well as twins, Mengele experimented on dwarves, giants and Romas. Moti Alon, who arrived in Auschwitz aged nine in , remembers being forced to watch a dwarf and a Roma woman being made to have sex.
