A departure from my normal posting of vintage music, I am also an historian, focusing on the world wars.

I captured this interview in 2012 from the 1985 documentary, "The Search for Mengele". I previously posted it to my channel but removed it some years ago. It had drawn a great deal of interest with viewers debating the pros and cons of Rolf Mengele's position on his relationship with his father.

I think it still has significant historical interest, the son of an infamous SS doctor explaining how he confronted his father, and trying to resolve his moral conflicts with his father.

It should be noted that since the interview, Rolf Mengele changed his name so that he could further separate himself from his father's legacy.

A related article was published in the Chicago Tribune on June 30, 1985. It is linked below.
