In the pursuit of this project, a special acknowledgment to Joan
Eckerman for her unfailing receptiveness to the original concept of
a biography about Josef Mengele. Her enthusiasm and work helped
to bring this book to fruition. To Katherine Ness, whose conscientious
line editing repeatedly saved us from serious errors. To
Susan Mayer, for kind support and devotion to the project. To Tom
Quinn, our senior editor, for his valuable criticisms of the drafts of
the book. He provided reassurance and encouragement through
the most difficult of times, and his judgment was always impeccable.
Pam Bernstein, the literary agent for this project, provided a professionalism
and drive which assisted us at all stages.
This book would not have been possible without the constant
practical help and indomitable optimism of Joseph Ferrara, Esq. His
skills, friendship, and incredible patience lifted us over apparently
insurmountable obstacles.
Finally, and most important, we thank our wives, Trisha Posner
and Helena Ware, who have lived with Josef Mengele for five years,
