WOW...

I think the most terrifying thing about Mengele was his intelligence. That intellect turned towards inhuman medical experiments and torture is the stuff of pure nightmare.

Crimelibrary offers a really well put together "condensed" look at his life (and atrocities):

Mengele was some kind of monster.

I went to that area (Foz do Igua

He grabbed her by the neck and proceeded to beat her head to a bloody pulp. He hit her, slapped her, boxed her, always her head — screaming at the top of his voice, "You want to escape, don't you. You can't escape now. You are going to burn like the others, you are going to croak, you dirty Jew." As I watched, I saw her two beautiful, intelligent eyes disappear under a layer of blood. And in a few seconds, her straight, pointed nose was a flat, broken, bleeding mass.  Half an  hour later, Dr. Mengele returned to the hospital. He took a piece of perfumed soap out of his bag and, whistling gaily with a smile of deep satisfaction on his face, he began to wash his hands.


Too bad you never found him Terry.  Hats off for trying!

Terry, I'm impressed you went looking.  That's the kind of brave and "positive" hunt I'd have liked to have been part of - bringing a "criminal against humanity" to justice - or even just finding him.  But Mossad is sooooo good at that kind of thing it would be hard to out-do them.

Well, it was not ONLY a hunt.

I was in Brasil anyway, and wanted to go to the State of Paran

My mother met the man. My grandparents met him too, but only once.

Dan, I can't believe you wrote that.  Funny in a very twisted way.

Terry, sounds like you're own trip to the "Heart of Darkness".

Dan, is that something you can elucidate on, or is it better left alone?

My mother, 18, and her parents arrived in Auschwitz/Birkenau in mid-June 1944 from Eger, Hungary. Mengele was doing what they called "selection". My mother was sent to the right, to the labor section, and her parents to the left to the "showers". She tried to go with them, but her father pushed her back the way Mengele pointed insisting that "someone from this family has to survive".

PS - does anyone on this forum think that maybe Terry was the model for Indiana Jones? Or Forrest Gump?
