Unmasking the Angel of Death


  • The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County Welwyn Preserve 100 Crescent Beach Road Glen Cove, NY 11542 (map)

Dr. David Marwell, historian and former CEO of the Museum of Jewish Heritage-A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, will present a talk based on his new book, Mengele: Unmasking the “Angel of Death.” Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase.

$10 suggested donation.  Light refreshments will be served.  Please RSVP to (516)571-8040 or info@hmtcli.org.


Dr. Marwell describes the international search for the Nazi doctor in 1985 that ended in a cemetery in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the dogged forensic investigation that produced overwhelming evidence that Mengele had died―but failed to convince those who, arguably, most wanted him dead. This is the riveting story of science without limits, escape without freedom, and resolution without justice.
