In July, Candace Owens minimized the experiments conducted on Jews and others imprisoned by the Nazis during World War II and the Holocaust. Owens highlighted Nazi experimentation on twins, remarking that most of it sounded like “bizarre propaganda.”

“‘From about September 1942 to about December 1943, experiments were conducted at the Ravensbrück concentration camp for the benefit of the German Armed Forces, to study bone, muscle, and nerve regeneration, and bone transplantation from one person to another. In these experiments, subjects had their bones, muscles and nerves removed without anesthesia,” Prager wrote to Owens. “As a result of these operations, many victims suffered intense agony, mutilation, and permanent disability.’”

“Specifically, with regard to twins, ‘the experiments included amputating healthy limbs, deliberately infecting them with diseases such as typhus, blood transfusions from one twin to the other, and sewing twins together to create conjoined twins.' Is that 'bizarre propaganda’"?
