Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released by Disney in 1937, which quickly attracted the attention of an unexpected person, namely Adolf Hitler. Due to the anti-American sentiment in Germany at that time, the film was banned from being shown in Germany. However, due to the superb animation technology of this film, it finally attracted Hitler's interest, so that Hitler personally painted the watercolor painting of Disney Dwarfs. However, in the next few years, Nazi Germany soon had its own dwarfs. But the seven dwarfs are not facing Snow White, but the devil.

The nightmare came from the notorious Nazi doctor Joseph mengle.

Mengele), he is the "angel of death" in Auschwitz concentration camp. Thanks to mengle, the Ovize family, a real Romanian Jewish dwarf family, experienced a terrible nightmare.

Mengle is a licensed doctor, but working in a death camp means more harm than treatment. He is particularly obsessed with strange and cruel experiments on prisoners, including some physically disabled people. He called these themes "mengle's Zoo". 1944 At midnight on May 9th, a guard woke mengle up and told him that the seven dwarfs had just arrived at his camp. He's so excited.

Ovize's family was born in a village in Transylvania. Their father, who is also the patriarch there, is Simson.

Aizic

Ovitz is a dwarf, and he is also a respected rabbi. He has been married twice and has 10 children, 7 of whom suffer from dwarfism. After Sim's death, his widow hoped that children with dwarfism could make a living by performing, because their bodies prevented them from farming the land.

Later, seven brothers and sisters, Rozika, Franzika, Avram, Freida, Micki, Elizabeth and Perla, formed a music and drama performance group, and then began to tour in Central Europe. Surprisingly, their performance received rave reviews. The other three brothers and sisters-Sarah, Leah and Ali

As a stage worker, I accompanied these seven people on tour. They mainly help to make clothes and set the scene. Ovize family is the first self-managed all-dwarf entertainment company in history.

When the Nazis invaded, the troupe was performing in Hungary. They didn't know what was waiting for them. The Nazis believed that the seven brothers and sisters were severely disabled, they had no right to live, and they would become a burden to society. Plus they are all Jews, so the family of ten went to Auschwitz almost in the blink of an eye.

When they arrived at the concentration camp, Nazi guards took them out of the car one by one. The guards were also attracted by their size and number, and realized that they were all family. It's obvious: mengle was informed immediately. It is reported that when he saw the dwarf, he was as happy as a Christmas child.

From then on, mengle and the Ovize family had a puzzling relationship, which was at best abusive and at worst downright sadistic. Mengle seems really interested in dwarfs, especially female dwarfs, among which Freda is the most concerned by him. Although he is friendly to dwarfs, his actions in the name of "science" are absolutely terrible.

"The most terrible experiment was the gynecological experiment," Elizabeth wrote later. "They inject things into our uterus, take blood and collect samples. The pain we suffered cannot be expressed in words. This pain lasted for many days after the experiment. "

Even the assistant doctors in mengele think that gynecological experiments are too inhuman. Later, out of sympathy for the Ovize family, they refused to help him. Finally, Geller became a little "gentle". After all, he likes dwarfs best, and he doesn't want to kill them-at least not yet. However, before long, the experiment began again.

"They suck fluid from our spine and pull out our hair. When we were about to collapse, they began painful experiments on our brains, noses, mouths and hands. All stages are fully recorded. " Elizabeth recalled. Mengle also pulled out some healthy teeth and extracted bone marrow without anesthesia.

However, in the eyes of the Ovize family, mengle became some kind of savior. When the camp manager said it was their turn to die, mengle saved them from death several times. He happily read a hymn to his family: "My seven dwarfs live in that hill and seven mountains". Some women in the family even called mengle "Your Excellency" and sang for him at his request.

Mengle sometimes brings gifts to his family-toys or sweets, which he confiscated from the dead children in the concentration camp. Leah 18-month-old sons usually receive these gifts. Once, the child hobbled to mengle and called him "Dad". Mengle corrected the child and said, "No, I'm not your father, I'm just uncle mengle." At the same time, he will flirt with Frida and whisper to her, "You are so beautiful today!"

In other experiments, mengle first poured boiling water into their ears, then ice water. He put chemicals in their eyes and blinded them. Mengle's experiment has no moral bottom line at all.

In order to please Hitler, mengle ordered the dwarfs to make a "family movie". Under threat, the Ovize family had to sing German songs to please the Fuehrer. At that time, the family had just witnessed the tragic death of two other dwarfs. Their bodies were cooked and their meat was taken off the bones. Mengle hopes that these bones can be exhibited in the Berlin Museum.

Besides, mengle is not satisfied with keeping everything he likes for himself. On a special day, he came here with cosmetics and a barber and told his family that they were going to perform on stage. They are so happy that they can finally perform on the stage again. However, the happiness they expected was quickly stifled.

The Ovize family came to a strange building outside the camp. They took to the stage, but only Nazi leaders, including SS officers and doctors, were in the audience. Then, mengle ordered the dwarf: * * clothes.

Mengle humiliated them with a billiard cue and poked them from time to time. One of the main goals of his research is to prove that the Jewish race is splitting into deformed creatures, which he thinks are no different from dwarfs, thus further proving that killing them is correct.

The stage performance in mengle was a great success. Later, the audience under the stage began to look at the family at close range, and they would poke the family further. The Ovize family were so ashamed that they didn't eat all day.

Most members of the Ovize family never really thought they would survive Auschwitz. 1945 When the Soviet Union liberated the concentration camp, mengle hurriedly picked up his experimental paper and ran away. Under his care, all the family members of Ovize successfully survived in the concentration camp. The authorities never arrested mengle, who died in Brazil on 1979.

Later, Pera Ovitz, the last surviving member of the family (she died in 200 1), admitted the terrible details of their imprisonment-but still thanked their captors.

"If the judge asked me whether mengle should be hanged, I would tell the judge to let him go," she recalled. "I owe it' care' for the' devil' to survive. But I believe that God will give mengle the punishment he deserves. "
