Intelligent, ambitious, unscrupulous: Dr Josef Mengele became synonymous with evil par excellence. The "Angel of Death" of Auschwitz, who carried out inhuman experiments on prisoners, whistled arias during the selection at the ramp, is considered one of the most notorious war criminals. But although he had been on international wanted lists since 1945, he was able to live unchallenged in South America until his death in 1979.
David Marwell worked as a specialist in the US Department of Justice to uncover Mengele's fate. He tells - soberly, clearly, accurately - the life of a terribly misguided doctor. And at the same time - for the period between 1945 and 1985 - also a thriller in times of the Cold War: between Mossad, BND and Burda, between the US Nazi hunters and Mengele's family in Günzburg, with whom he kept contact until his death. It is the story of a science without morals, a flight without freedom and finally the solution of a case without justice.
