Josef is named the Angel of Death.  Josef was infamous for his experiments on twins. He would infect one twin and watch if anything happens to the other or inject ink into the arms of a twin and watch to see if they live, and if one twin dies he kills the other, to do an autopsy to see the differences in the twins. The day Helga fooled him, he was doing rounds on all of the prisoners.  ]]> 2019-05-15 19:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_kbreeding32/xwpz8amq1yhf/wish/360528548 stu_kbreeding32 https://padlet.com/stu_kbreeding32/xwpz8amq1yhf/wish/360958563 2019-05-16 19:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/stu_kbreeding32/xwpz8amq1yhf/wish/360958563
