36. Solomon Northup
Sometime in the early 1800s, Soloman Northup was believed to have been born in New York. Even though he was black, both his parents were free, but his father was a slave at one time. Sometime in the late 1820s, Northup married a woman by Anne Hampton’s name, and the two had three children. Years later, in 1841, Northup believed that, albeit temporarily, he had been offered work in Washington DC as a fiddler. It turned out to be a ruse, however, and he was abducted and sold into slavery.

37. Heinrich Muller
Heinrich Muller is considered one of the most disgraceful people of the twentieth century. He joined Nazi Germany’s state police, Gestapo, in 1933. He quickly moved to chief rank and formally joined the 1939 Nazi Party. Muller’s actions involve helping advance false information used to justify Poland’s invasion and help the Holocaust. On May 1, 1945, one day before Hitler took his life, Muller was last seen. Nobody knows what happened to him, but most believe he died around that time. There has not been any sign of him since that day.
