We owe a special thanks to Elliot Welles of the Anti-Defamation League in New York, whose commitment to the work of bringing Nazi criminals to justice was a constant inspiration to us. Some researchers gave assistance far beyond their obligations or the call of friendship. We would like to make particular mention here of Alexandra Wiessler, archivist of the Wiener Library, London, for whom no task was too great; her wise counsel and scrupulous regard for accuracy prevailed on countless occasions. Also Tony Wells of the Wiener Library, and the Wiener Library itself; Robert Hodges, Major (ret.), U.S. Air Force, who gave so much of himself; and Annette Mills, who went out of her way to help in her spare time. Dr. Gunther Deschner, historian, of Munich, was an invaluable help in deciphering the more cryptic passages of Mengele's 5,000 pages of prose. A very special acknowledgment, of course, is due to the survivors of Mengele's experiments, especially Eva Kor and Marc Berkowitz and their worldwide organization C.A.N.D.L.E.S. (Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiment Survivors). Many members of their group spent harrowing hours retelling their dreadful experiences when they would much rather have forgotten them. It should be said that the photographic memory of Marc Berkowitz, Mengele's camp messenger, was the actual inspiration for this book. We would like to thank several former anonymous members of Israel's Central Institute for Intelligence and Special Missions who helped us compile what we know to be the most detailed account of the Mossad's role in the hunt for Josef Mengele. Special thanks are certainly due to Brian Moser, producerdirector for Central T.V., England, of the documentary "Mengele," for his generous contribution; and to Ray Firzwalter, editor of "World in Action," Granada Television, England, who understood when events were at their most critical. <strong>The</strong> insight of Andrew Stephen and inborn optimism of Paul Greengrass were priceless assets too. With apologies to those whom we may have inadvertently omitted, we list the following who were most active and instrumental in bringing this project to fruition: Zvi Aharoni, London/ Wilfried Ahrens, Argnt, West Germany/ Dr. Pedro Alvarez, Encarnacion, Paraguay/ Koby Behar, police
