The Auschwitz Museum pushed back against Fox News personality Lara Logan for likening top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci to Josef Mengele, a Nazi doctor nicknamed the "Angel of Death" for his barbaric medical experiments on people imprisoned at the Auschwitz concentration camp.

During a Fox News appearance Monday night, Logan claimed: "What you see on Dr. Fauci, this is what people say to me: That he doesn't represent science to them. He represents Josef Mengele. Dr. Josef 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."
