Sorry to ask such a trivial question, but I can't seem to
find the answer on the Web: How do you pronounce
the surname of Josef Mengele?

"Meng" like in "hang", plus "ulle" like in "dull", with the accent on
"Meng".
Mang-ulle.

Hope this helps.

In German, of course ;-)

MEN-geh-leh, with a hard g, as far as I know.

Were there eight kings of the name of Henry in England, or were there eighty?
Never mind; someday it will be recorded that there was only one, and the
attributes of all of them will be combined into his compressed and consensus
story. --- R. A. Lafferty, _And Read the Flesh Between the Lines_

there is nothing special about the pronounciation, it's straight forward
from the spelling (maybe someone with phonetic script knowledge who
happens to speak German can help out).
