Mengele

Josef Mengele has come to symbolise both the evil of the Nazi regime and the failure of justice. Drawing on new scholarship and sources, David G. Marwell examines Mengele's life, chronicling his university studies, which led to two PhDs; his wartime service, in combat and at Auschwitz, where his 'selections' determined the fate of countless innocents and his 'scientific' pursuits resulted in the traumatisation and death of thousands more; and his post-war refuge in Germany and South America.
