The Importance of Mindfulness in the Selection Process

Mengele was unusually well suited to the mental task of selection. Dr. Ella Lingens, who was also interned at Auschwitz, later noted that Joseph handled the duty with less stress than his colleagues. Some like Werner Road who hated his work and Hans Koenig, who was deeply disgusted by the job, had to get drunk before they appeared on the ramp. Only two doctors performed the selections without any stimulants of any kind. Doctor Fritz Klein deserved to be remembered in the same breath as a piece of shit like Mengele.
