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 of Untermenschen, 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 test human 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 a Red 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 apparently got 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
