title: Genetics of susceptibility to tuberculosis: Mengele's experiments in Auschwitz.
abstract: Great experiments will always be remembered. I highlight an experiment that was conducted during the Nazi regime in Germany. Not only did the experiment fail, it was also linked to fraud and crimes against humanity. This failed experiment will never be forgotten.
