Ep. Josef Mengele with David Marwell
Dr. Josef Mengele, the so-called Angel of Death, has achieved an almost mythical status as a supervillain. Yet this stereotype obscures the history of a man who was, in many ways, a product of both pre-war racial pseudoscience and the Nazi state.
I am joined in this episode by David Marwell an historian who remarkably also worked with the US government to track down Dr. Mengele after the war. We talk about Mengele’s origins, what made him who he was, and the hunt for him after the end of World War II.
