For three decades Josef Mengele, the doctor who performed horrific experiments on Auschwitz prisoners, floated through South America until the day he collapsed in the Brazilian surf in 1979. In his new novel, The Disappearance of Josef MengeleOlivier Guez traces Mengele’s travels during those years in hiding, as he kept two steps ahead of those trying to capture him. On Thursday November 10, 2022 at 7:00 p.m., Guez will be in conversation with Sam Sacks, Fiction Critic at the Wall Street Journal, about his book and his research.
