The diary of Nazi medical experimenter, Josef Mengele (above, arms folded), was put up for auction in January, but, so far, there’s been little interest in it.  Written in the ‘60s when Herr Doctor was camping out in South America, the diary had apparently been kept by Mengele’s son.  Here are some entry snippets:

I see how right my plans have been all along and I understand now that following people’s advice mostly results in irreparable nonsense.  But I refuse to pass guilt onto others: I was solely responsible for my decisions.

The real problem is to define when human life is worth living and when it has to be eradicated.  There’s no good or bad in nature.  There’s only appropriate or inappropriate.  Both sides receive equal chances.  Nevertheless, nature provides a strainer.  Things that are inappropriate fall through since they lose in the struggle for survival.

Everything will end in catastrophe if natural selection is altered to the point that gifted people are overwhelmed by billions of morons.  We have to prevent the rise of the idiot masses.  Inferior morons should be exterminated.  We have to make sure that nature’s suspended eradication will continue through human arrangements.  Birth control can be done by sterilizing those with deficient genes.
