Requests:  0 Summary:  "A gripping account of the infamous Nazi doctor, from a former Justice Department official tasked with uncovering his fate. One of the most notorious war criminals of all time, Dr. Josef Mengele has come to symbolize both the evil of the Nazi regime and the failure of justice in the postwar world. Drawing on new scholarship and sources, historian David G. Marwell examines Mengele's life and career, chronicling his university studies, which led to two PhDs and a promising career as a scientist; his wartime service, in combat and at Auschwitz, where his "selections" determined the fate of countless innocents and his "scientific" pursuits resulted in the traumatization and death of thousands more; and his postwar refuge in Germany and South America. This biography describes the international search for the Nazi doctor in 1985 that ended in a cemetery in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the dogged forensic investigation that produced overwhelming evidence that Mengele had died-but failed to convince those who, arguably, most wanted him dead. This is a story of science without limits, escape without freedom, and resolution without justice."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Biography B Mengele Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.5318 Mengele Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Mengele Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Biography B Mengele Ma   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
