Josef Mengele (March 16, 1911 – February 7, 1979) was a Nazi German SS officer and a physician in the concentration camp Auschwitz. He gained notoriety chiefly for being one of the SS physicians who supervised the selection of arriving transports of prisoners, determining who was to be killed and who was to become a forced labourer, and for performing brutal experiments of dubious scientific value on camp inmates.

Mengele later moved south to Hohenau and then from the late 1960s he lived in Embu, a small city near São Paulo, Brazil until his death in 1979, when he suffered a stroke while swimming at Bertioga, Brazil and drowned. He was buried in the Nossa Senhora do Rosario cemetery in Embu under his false identity, Wolfgang Gerhard.
Despite international efforts to track him down, he was never apprehended and lived for 35 years hiding under various aliases. In 1992 DNA tests confirmed his identity.
