The Disappearance of Josef Mengele: A Novel | Olivier Guez

2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read

For three decades, until the day he collapsed in the Brazilian surf in 1979, Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death who performed horrific experiments on the prisoners of Auschwitz, floated through South America in linen suits, keeping two steps ahead of Mossad agents, international police and the world's journalists. In this rigorusly researched factual novel-drawn almost entirely from historical documents-Olivier Guez traces Mengele's footsteps through these years of flight. This chilling novel situates the reader in a literary manhunt on the trail of one of the most elusive and evil figures of the twentieth century. Selected as one of The 50 best books of 2022 by The Telegraph

The Disappearance of Josef Mengele: A Novel | Olivier Guez

This is published by Verso - a fabulous indie publisher. Based on as many historical documents as the author could access, it covers the life of Josef Mengele as he fled prosecution for his role at Auschwitz. A despicable man, it did raise questions though about the many complicit people in positions of power at corporations who benefitted from Nazi actions and were never punished. Thought provoking.

La disparition de Josef Mengele | Olivier Guez

Renaudot Prize of 2017, the book is about the exil of Josef Mengele, aka "The death's angel". He was a SS officer in WW2, "doctor" at Auschwitz. Like many other Nazis, he escaped the justice and fled to Argentina.
The book show well his sick mind. It was also interesting to know how these criminals were able to escape justice and live in opulence for the rest of their life.
