Hosted by Leonard Nimoy and broadcast weekly from 1976 to 1982, In Search Of... is the greatest mystery documentary show ever. I grew up watching this show, enjoying the spine-tingling presentation of quasi-fact and dramatic synthesizer-heavy music of Rinder and Lewis.
I am not selling this material, neither am I interested in buying bootlegs. I have posted to make evaluation of this excellent but underrated series possible.
Thanks for watching!
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
It's interesting to me that this episode doesn't mention Mengele's fascination with identical twins or exact details of the monstrosities he committed. While the Wikipedia article does go into a bit of detail about this, it seems to all but ignore Simon Wiesenthal's worthy vigil; thankfully this In Search Of... episode does.
Also, Mengele reportedly died within a week of this episode's original air date (Feb 1, 1979)...
From Wikipedia:
"Mengele, whose health had been deteriorating for years, died on February 7, 1979, in Bertioga, Brazil, where he accidentally drowned or possibly suffered a stroke while swimming in the sea."
