Yes Virginia, there is Evil in the world. The Nazis planned to become a nation of Super beasts 120 Million strong. They had to more than double their population. Dr. Joseph Mengele was stationed at the Death Camp of Auschwitz. Survivors of the camp remember him as the Angel of Death. He did the hard work of Selection when the trains came and the thousands of Europa's Others emptied out of the 40 and 8s and were forced to line up in a long, long, queue along the railhead and then slowly parade themselves before the Angel while he said: Linkes or Recht and your fate was decided. Dr. Mengele thought of himself as a Medical Researcher and he was after the Grail of Nazi Reproductive Science: Twins. What was the secret of Twins? And when he learned that secret could he call down the other Angels and their Powers and produce these Twins in the Image and Likeness of the Aryan Überlord? Himmler needed a sea of blond haired and blue eyed babies with which to repopulate the world. Dr. Mengele was handsome, brilliant, affable, and unlike the other Selectors - he came to work sober. His Shekhina hovered over the railheads at Birkenau like a pack of savage gulls. They looked for anyone with a unique hereditary trait: twins, dwarfs, giants, the club-footed, and they especially circled over a rarity which set Dr. Mengele trembling with an erotic anticipation: heterochromiacs - those with each eye a different color. "Zwillinge!" The SS guards would shout to the dazed crowds. "Zwillinge!" Parents flipped a mental coin. If they gave the good Doctor their Twins they might survive. As many of them did. Whole tribes of dwarves survived. Those who hid their twins got the privilege of walking with them to the gas. Skippy has been to Auschwitz/Birkenau and he swears that to this day, along the half-mile of railheads you can still hear the Gull-Shekhina of Josef Mengele calling in the Polish wind: Zwillinge! Zwillinge!
