Food coupon | A food coupon dated June 22, 1943, is pictured. Alleged food coupons for some of the notorious Nazi doctors at the Auschwitz death camp, including the sadistic doctor Josef Mengele, were found in the attic of a nearby house, where they had lain unseen for decades. The coupon for 400 grams of sugar is made out for a doctor Mergerle. There was no doctor by that name at camp, so the museum believes a clerk misspelled Mengele’s name. Mengele escaped after World War II and evaded capture for the rest of his life. ( Auschwitz Memorial Museum/AP ) |
