MENGELE JOSEF: (1911-1979) German SS officer and physician, known as 'The Angel of Death' for the horrifically cruel experiments he performed at Auschwitz Concentration Camp during World War II. A single holograph word ('Hupfauer') in Mengele's hand, in dark black fountain pen ink, on an extremely small oblong 12mo piece (1.5 x 0.4), evidently clipped from an official document. Lightly mounted to the base of an A4 sheet of paper featuring a reproduction image of Mengele in a head and shoulders pose in uniform. VG Hupfauer was the maiden name of Walburga Theresa Mengele (1880-1946), the mother of Josef Mengele.
