Reply to comment by Furzapfel in TIL that the Brazilian village of Candido Godoi, 7k inhabitants mostly of German descent, have the greatest birth rate of twins in the world (1/5 births). Some believe it is the result of genetic experiments of nazi medic Mengele, notorious for his obsession with creating an Aryan race. by greenland1237

I read up on that recently after hearing about the film. Fucking bonkers. Those poor women and children.

The worst part is that it's still going on. There was a lot that was hinky about the "official" story, and many members of the community think it was basically a coverup for abuse by the victims' family members. The nighttime attacks continued after the men were jailed. Anesthetics also don't work the way the prosecution claimed. Canadian Mennonite's coverage goes into way more detail.
