...Mengele, immediately after the war, had worked for four years as a groom for a farmer near Munich; how he had been mistakenly arrested by Italian authorities in 1949 in Genoa, then released three weeks later with friendly apologies; and how he was assisted in South America by Hans-Ulrich Rudel, a Luftwaffe ace and unrepentant Nazi with connections to Paraguayan Dictator Alfredo Stroessner.

Ulrich Plenzdorf, an East German novelist and playwright whose works sell on both sides of the Wall, argues that "no matter how many adjectives the system may use to describe itself, the 'German' remains." When a West German border guard once asked Leipzig Painter Bernhard Heisig how long...
