The ESCAPE Of Josef Mengele - Auschwitz's Angel Of Death

One of the most infamous and horrific names associated with the Holocaust was the 'Angel of Death,' Josef Mengele. Inside Auschwitz Concentration Camp, Mengele would perform some of the most sadistic and barbaric experiments in history, and would demonstrate immense cruelty and barbarism on the innocent prisoners chosen to take part in his trial. Mengele would also take part in the selections, being an SS doctor and would send thousands of people to their deaths inside the gas chambers.
Josef Mengele however would never face justice. Despite his crimes against humanity, he would flee Auschwitz before he was captured by the Red Army who would liberate the camp. Following the end of the Second World War, many high ranking Nazis and members of the SS would escape justice through the ratlines which were established to help them flee. Mengele was actually arrested by the US Army, but would be released as he wasn't deemed at the time to have been a war criminal. But during the trials that followed World War 2, stories of Mengele's experiments and crimes would come to light.
Mengele would end up in South America, and set up a new life for himself under a number of false names before returning to using his notorious name. He worked as a carpenter initially and also as a salesman and would move between Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil to escape being captured in the same way Adolf Eichmann would by Mossad. He would even go on holiday to Europe to go skiing in Switzerland after the war. Mengele would live into the 1970s, and whilst swimming on holiday would drown after having a stroke. He would never face justice.
