Some assign him a higher role then he deserves. While his work at Auschwitz-Birkenau earned him the title of Angel of Deathand his violation of the Hippocratic Oath as a Physician can't be condoned, he can be considered a self serving functionary and a Nazi bureaucrat. He managed to convince high placed individuals that his medical experiments were important to the Reich, had a historical value and could only be carried out by him in this environment. It spared him from duty on the Russian front, service that equated to a death sentence. He did make selections on who should live and who should die. Like Eichman, he should have been brought to justice, and by escaping with help from family, church and financial connections, a stain was placed on every post WWII investigative body. Little or no effort was given to his apprehension.
It's worth noting that Ellie Wiesel writes about his fear of Mengele NOT in terms of his famous experiments. Wiesel was more concerned about Mengele's role in selections (based on physical fitness), a job that could be filled by any SS physician.
Dr. Mengele shows the true spirit of the Holocaust. Inhumane would be the word. Dr. Mengele did things such as removing a heart without any medicine; and performed many experimental surgeries on the prisoners. He was known to work with twins, and did many horrible things to over 4,000 twins. Only about 200 pairs of twins survived. He also sought out pregnant women to which he dissected while they were alive, then sent to gas chambers. He was also one of the people to decide who gets to live (if you will call it that) and who gets to perish upon arriving at a concentration camp. For this, he was known as The Angel of Death.
