From Reuters
WIESBADEN, West Germany — The government today offered $300,000--the largest reward in West Germany’s history--for information leading to the capture of Nazi concentration camp doctor Josef Mengele.
The chief prosecutor of Frankfurt raised the sum from $15,000, which had been in effect for many years.
Mengele, thought to be in Latin America, has been sought since 1959 for torturing and ordering the deaths of thousands of prisoners at Auschwitz.
