Promoted from today’s Morning Joe. One of the starting headlines is that one of the most wanted Nazi War Criminals still left alive from WWII apparently died in Egypt where he hid under a false name for decades.
One of the most wanted Nazi war criminals, Aribert Heim or ‘Doctor Death’, lived for years as a quiet, pious Muslim in a small hotel on the edge of Islamic Cairo, where he was known as Doctor Tarek.
Concealed in the labyrinthine streets of the largest city in Africa and the Middle East, the man wanted for killing hundreds of concentration camp victims with horrific medical experiments found refuge until his death in 1992.
The next paragraph is almost stereotypical of killers in hiding:
“He was like a giant, not very chatty but he never missed a prayer at the mosque,” remembers Gamal Abu Ahmed, who today lives in Dr Death’s former room on the sixth floor of the Qasr el-Medina hotel.
He was a very quiet man…Never missed a prayer at the mosque. No!
A genocidal war criminal involved in the death of Jews hiding in an Arab country as a Muslim. I can’t handle the shock. How did he ever manage to blend in?
