Show detail Hide detail

This edition of "The Public Eye" hosted by Warner Troyer investigates the whereabouts of Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi physician of Auschwitz ("Angel of Death") who has evaded capture since his 1959 conviction for war crimes that included medical experimentation on human beings. Mengele's identity is explored through narrative, photographs and sketches; photos of his alleged boat and bungalo in Argentina; and a brief, exclusive segment of film of a man believed to be Mengele, taken by Brazilian journalist Adolfo Cicero. Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, head of the Vienna documentation centre for identifying Jewish victims of national socialism, is interviewed by Charles Wasserman about his capture of Adolf Eichmann; the escape of Martin Bormann; and the continuing search for Mengele. Additional footage includes: shots of the Mengele business in Gunzburg, Bavaria; drawings of Mengele's relatives; and archival footage of war crimes trials; the Auschwitz (Poland) concentration camp; and victims beside mass graves. Wasserman also interviews the Chief Public Prosecutor of the Nuremberg War Crimes, [Fritz Bauer] about Mengele. <30mn>
