"Although Mengele's subjects could be operated on without any painkillers at all, a remarkable example of Nazi zoophilia is that a leading biologist was once punished for not giving worms enough anesthesia during an experiment" (86).
This chapter interestingly became an intellectual history of Nazi zoophilia and eugenics, even coming with direct quotations. A fascinating aside, and linked to the story!

An interesting premise so far, and the way the text enters into some sort of "post-war memoir/new clipping text" is intruiging. Not sure if it works yet, but we'll see as I keep reading. I'm back in my element: historical fiction! World War II! This was high school Shane's bread and butter.
