For the rest of her life, Angela says, her mother had nightmares about her experiences in the camp. "When she was dying they gave her morphine but still she was saying 'Mengele is at the door, he is coming to get me!'

"We were holding her hand but Mengele was there."

My soul is aching :(

Die in prison, you rotten scum.

Good. I understand how this kind of thing happens in war, and people are scared for their own lives or their families and look the other way.

But too many people looked the other way, or smashed windows, or ratted out neighbors, or cheered ghettos and train-cars full of Jews and others.

They need to be punished, and the world needs to *see* them being punished.

Agreed.

Thanks for this article, OP. Glad to hear he was convicted.

You're so welcome! I'm glad the post was useful.

I'm so glad he was convicted, as well. It's just a shame that it's taken so long and that so many lived out their lives without facing any form of justice.

Mengele is a good example: he was eventually found, but by then he had died of natural causes.

I suppose the only consolation is that he spent the rest of his life in fear of being caught: http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/josef-mengele-in-brazil-angel-of-death-diary-shows-no-regrets-a-330311.html
