STORY
Gerald L. Posner and
John Ware
This is the definitive life story of Dr. Josef
Mengele, the notorious 'Angel of Death."
Responsible for the death and mutilation
of thousands of prisoners at Auschwitz.
Mengele vanished into South America af-
ter World War II, where he remained free
for more than three decades. How did he
escape from the Allies? And how did he
elude his pursuers?
Granted exclusive and unrestricted
access to the Mengele family papers and
diaries, Posner and Ware have sifted
through more than 5,000 pages of
Mengele's writings to construct this ex-
traordinary record of his life—from his
childhood in Germany to the horrors of
Auschwitz to his years in exile. Among
their headline-making revelations:
• Conclusive proof that Mengele was
aided by an extensive network of people
who supplied him with passports, shelter,
money, and diverted his pursuers.
• Unprecedented new insights into
Mengele's mind and character.

• Proof that Mengele was captured and
held for two months under his own name
by the U.S. Army.
• Substantial evidence that West Germany
and Israel could have captured
Mengele on two separate occasions and
failed to do so.
In this masterful biography, the infamous,
elusive Mengele has at last been
captured.
Gerald L. Posner, recognized as a
leading authority on Josef Mengele, is a
partner in the New York City law firm of
Posner and Ferrara. He has been studying
Mengele for five years, traveling to Europe
and South America to collect more
than 25,000 documents.
John Ware is a London-based TV
producer for the current affairs documentary
program World in Action made by
Britain's Granada Television. His documentary
'The Hunt for Dr. Mengele" was
aired on the Independent Television Network
as well as on 60 Minutes in this
country.
