Shortly after the end of the Second World War, Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who had practiced in the Auschwitz extermination camp, managed to escape from Germany. With the help of SS soldiers and the support of wealthy South American families, he went into hiding in Argentina. From Buenos Aires to Paraguay, with stops in the Brazilian jungle, the so-called Angel of Death organized his methodical disappearance and escaped any form of trial.
