The Story of Joseph Mangula
David Marwell found a form signed by Dr. Mangula requesting that histological sections be made from a medical specimen sent to the SS laboratory on June 29, 1944. The specimen was almost certainly prepared by our friend, Miechloce. Noma is a rare disease. It's been with us for thousands of years and is sometimes called the grazer. In fact, Noma is derived from the Greek word nimo, which means to graze or devour. One check inmate doctor later testified, whole chunks of flesh would come off the affected areas. I never saw such severe cases of gangrene of the cheek. And these are the samples. These are the heads.
