The Auschwitz Memorial slammed a Fox host for comparing Fauci to a Nazi doctor, calling it a ‘sad symptom of moral and intellectual decline’

• Fox Nation host Lara Logan compared Dr. Anthony Fauci to the infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.
• The Auschwitz Memorial said the comment was “shameful” and “disrespectful to victims.”
• Mengele selected prisoners for execution at the Auschwitz camp during World War II.

The Auschwitz Memorial slammed the Fox Nation host Lara Logan after she compared White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci to the infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.

Logan said during a Monday segment of “Fox News Primetime”: “This is what people say to me, that he doesn’t represent science to them. He represents Joseph Mengele, the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps. And I am talking about people all across the world are saying this.”

The Auschwitz Memorial’s official Twitter account wrote in response: “Exploiting the tragedy of people who became victims of criminal pseudo-medical experiments in Auschwitz in a debate about vaccines, pandemic, and people who fight for saving human lives is shameful.”

“It is disrespectful to victims & a sad symptom of moral and intellectual decline.”

Mengele, who was also known as the “Angel of Death,” was a Nazi doctor who conducted inhumane experiments on prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II, according to the Public Broadcasting Service.

The experiments included the removal of organs without anesthesia and forced insemination. He also selected prisoners for the gas chambers. 

At least 1.1 million people were killed at Auschwitz over a period of four-and-a-half years, the BBC reported.

Fox News did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
