He stared at the deliberate German script in the tattered notebook -- the ravings of one of the most evil minds in history, and the killer of 100 of his family members.
"I don't want to touch it," he said.
The Orthodox Jewish New Yorker first laid eyes on the diary of Dr. Josef Mengele on Thursday at a Connecticut auction house.
He bought the 86-page journal last week from the auctioneer after the document failed to attract a bidder at the $60,000 reserve price. The buyer has requested anonymity but agreed to speak to The Post about his reasons for acquiring the Nazi madman's innermost musings.
The buyer's grandmother, who survived Auschwitz, witnessed the "Angel of Death" choose prisoners to go to the gas chambers.
"People were terrified to even look at him," she told her grandson. "The SS soldiers were even scared to look at him."
Mengele, an SS officer and physician at the death camp in Poland, conducted nightmarish human experiments, including amputations, sterilization and surgeries without anesthetics. He was obsessed with twins and oversaw gruesome tests on 3,000 sets.
Mengele started the diary -- handwritten in blue ink in a school notebook bearing the image of children with a horse on the cover -- in 1960 while hiding out in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
It does not mention Nazis, Hitler or the death camps. But it is filled with subjects near and dear to the mad doctor's cold heart -- eugenics, the superiority of the German race, the inferiority of women.
Mengele meanders from a discussion of aesthetics in "Dr. Zhivago" to a rant on how the mentally challenged should be sterilized so their "inferior genes" would not be passed on.
His primary point is: "the simple and fundamental truth that human beings are not equal."

It would be very interesting to start dropping quotes out of this journal around Washington and see who picks them up to run with them.

” His primary point is: “the simple and fundamental truth that human beings are not equal.” “
While the above statement is very true, it ignores that God created us with inalienable rights. That means everyone has equal rights though not all are equally granted abilities.
A look into the mind of 1 out of 2 people.
??????????
Every pro-death liberal has the mind of Mengele. They just won’t admit it to themselves.

Please do reveal your evidence for this enlightened comment, or you may be mistaken for a disgusting and ignorant, dishonest antisemite.
ONLY if they FIGHT for them.

Possible, but statistically unlikely. Orthodox Jewish support for Republicans is generally about 80 percent. And those were pretty much the numbers in the 2008 election. Big surprise. Religious people are conservative. Among Catholics, regular Mass attenders went heavily for McCain as well. Evangelicals voted similarly.

Although this is possible, as an Orthodox Jewish person the odds are actually pretty good that he did not
Understood. A sad sign of the times we live in.
Read other post, you are mistaken.
So children don't have a right to life?
If he really was Orthodox, that's highly doubtful. Liberal, secular Jews voted for zero; devout Orthodox ones did not.
Dr. Joseph Mengele may have been reincarnated as the Jewish Dr. Ezekiel Emanuael....
I have only been in a synagogue a few times, is there a difference between synagogues?
