It is possible he’s reliving some parts of his experience. I’ve had my experiences come back to haunt me - the sights, sounds and especially, the smells. I still have reactions in hospitals fifty plus years later, and hospital disinfectant is the worst. I’ve smelled ether (early sixties anesthetic) when describing what it was like. Only dealing with Mengele himself would have been much worse, and that was for that portion - being treated like an object, an experiment…. There was more, much more. These people endured worse, though.
