RIO DE JANEIRO (JTA) — The cranium and bones of Nazi leader Dr. Josef Mengele, who died in Brazil decades after fleeing Auschwitz, will be available for study at a Brazilian university.
The remains of Mengele, who was known as the “Angel of Death” for his torturous experiments on prisoners, will be available to students at the Sao Paulo University after being left untouched inside a blue plastic bag on a shelf at Sao Paulo’s Institute for Forensic Medicine for 30 years.
“Mengele was among the Nazis who were most committed to the death of millions,” historian Maria Luiz Tucci Carneiro declared in an interview with the prime time news program “Fantastico” on Sunday. “The traditional German community in Brazil supported and provided safety to Nazis.”
Mengele was a notorious member of the team of doctors responsible for the selection of victims to be killed in the gas chambers and for performing deadly human experiments on prisoners, including genetic research. His subsequent experiments, focusing primarily on twins, had no regard for the health or safety of the victims.
