Betina Anton
Hiding Mengele
How a Nazi Network Harbored the Angel of Death

In 1985, six-year-old Betina Anton’s kindergarten teacher was arrested by Brazilian authorities for helping hide Dr. Josef Mengele. After World War II, Mengele evaded capture for 34 years in South America with the support of a network of sympathizers. Anton, now an investigative journalist, draws on extensive interviews and never-before-seen letters and photos in this suspenseful and revelatory portrait of Mengele and the motivations of the community that shielded him.

Betina Anton, an investigative journalist with over 20 years of experience, is an international news editor at Globo TV, the largest channel in Latin America, and has received the 
Vladimir Herzog Award, Brazil’s highest honor in journalism. Hiding Mengele has been translated into nine languages.
