"Angel of Death" became an abortionist after Hitler's fall

Josef Mengele, the Auschwitz death camp doctor known as the "Angel of Death" for his experiments on inmates, practiced medicine in Buenos Aires for several years in the 1950's. He "had a reputation as a specialist in abortions," which were illegal. When one young woman died from his treatment, he was taken before a Buenos Aires judge, who detained him only briefly. The documents say a friend of Mengele's appeared in the courtroom with a "package presumably filled with a large amount of money." After two hours, he was let go. NY Times
