Does this surprise anyone??

Scotsman has an article about Joseph Mengele and how new letters and diaries show he was unrepentant till the end. He was a true believer in the Nazi cause until his death in 1979.

If you are not aware of who Joseph Mengele is, please Google his name, but I wouldn't recommend doing it over lunch, you might lose your appetite.

After the war, he escaped justice by fleeing to South America and ended up in Brazil. Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay do need to look at their pasts and answer to the world why they sheltered Mengele and his ilk for so many decades after the war. Hiding these people makes these countries accomplices in the crimes these men committed.
