The Disappearance of Josef Mengele

In 1949, Josef Mengele, the camp doctor of Auschwitz, flees to Argentina to start a new life. In Buenos Aires, he encounters numerous supporters, including dictator Perón. However, the Mossad and Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal are on his trail, forcing him to escape to the countryside. Increasingly isolated, he moves from hideout to hideout until he dies in a swimming accident in 1979. Guez narrates Mengele's flight in a fast-paced and gripping manner, akin to a thriller. It is a fascinating portrait of a committed perpetrator and a harrowing depiction of an international community that failed miserably. Unabridged reading by Burghart Klaussner, 5 CDs, approximately 6 hours and 35 minutes.
