1/2
Germany
Josef Mengele was the physician in charge of medical
experimentation at the Nazis'notorious Auschwitz concentration
camp. He would stand next to the rail cars as they
disembarked loads ofUntermenschen, whistling opera arias as he
selected the people upon whom
he would perform his ghastly experiments.
These unfortunate souls would be submerged in freezing water
until they died in order to testhuman endurance in cold climates.
Women would have their breasts cut off (without expensive
anesthesia) for dissection and examination. And many people with
brown eyes would have blue
dye injected into their corneas as Mengele attempted to
"Aryanize" them.
After the war, Mengele, known as the "Angel of Death," entered
Argentina in 1949 with aRed Cross passport. Since his medical
experience had become largely irrelevant, he began to
pursue a line of work that perfectly suited his temperament, job
experience and sense of ethics.
He became an abortionist.
After he killed a young Buenos Aires woman, he was hauled before
a judge, but apparentlygot off scot-free when an associate bribed
the Court with a large sum of money.1
The infamous "Angel of Death" was not the only Nazi murderer to
find a safe haven as an
abortionist after World War II.Former Nazi and SS officer Vilis
Kruze put his wartime skills to work performing abortions
for Kaiser Permanente in Ohio and Hawaii. He was convicted in
connection with botching an
abortion on a 19-year old "exotic dancer" who committed suicide
a few days later.
Kruze had some very strange habits, even for an abortionist. He
locked his female
secretaries in closets and made them urinate into bottles while
at their desks. Ohio authorities
eventually sent Kruze to prison, then committed him to a
hospital for the criminally insane.
Kruze also gave drugs to young girls in exchange for sex, and,
after he was released from the
mental hospital, the brother of one of these girls tracked him
down and killed him in revenge.2
