and took some precautions in
arranging to meet them, I felt
no fear at the time. Perhaps it
was my inexperience, perhaps
I was foolish. In talking with
them, I made it clear that I
was not hunting Mengele, but
trying to write a history of the
man and his movements. I
think that was a big difference
for them. And that was a gen-
uine difference for me, too. I
never assumed when I started
my research that I was going
to come anywhere near Men-
gele. So I let them know that
I wasn't a bounty hunter.
I think the fact that I am a
lawyer helped, too. In South
America a law degree works
wonders because it makes you
a doctor. And Germans respect
it, too. They look up to profes-
sionals with titles. But I had
no illusions about immunity. If
someone had wanted to throw
me in jail, the fact that I was
an attorney would have meant
nothing. Neither does being a
U.S. citizen.
One has to be very careful.
Of course it is difficult to sit
quietly and listen to Nazis
spout their doctrines of hate.
But I knew that the only way
they would talk to me would be
on their terms, without argu-
ing, and only if I guaranteed to
report what they said fairly
and accurately.
At times my blood would
boil as I listened to someone's
spasm of anti-Semitism. I did
not advertise my Jewishness,
although "Posner" is under-
stood to be a Jewish name in
the United States. I believe my
name was accepted as simply
German. But it was difficult to
listen to bigots railing that an
active Zionist conspiracy runs
the world, that all media are
controlled by Jews, that Jews
created many of the horror
stories of the Holocaust in
order to pressure a guilt-ridden
community of nations into ap-
. proving the Palestine mandate
after World War II. I kept my
mouth shut. Sometimes, I con-
vinced myself, it was all right
to agree with the hate mongers
in order to get information. •
Months of this kind of ac-
quiescence puts one in a
strange state of mind. I didn't
realize how strange unitl I
returned to the United States
after one of my trips to Para-
guay. One night I was sitting
and talking to my wife when
she suddenly stopped me in
mid-sentence.
"Are you listening to what
you're saying?" she said. I had
fallen into the protective pat-
tern that I had assumed in
South America, when I played
off the Nazis and neo Nazis I
had been interviewing, nudg-
ing them with my elbows and
saying, "Yeah, you're right.
It's the Jewish press that's
giving Nazis a bad name.
Mengele was a good man who
only did bad things, Jews own
everything."
"Wait a munute," my wife
