In January 1945 the Red Army entered Auschwitz and began rounding up Nazis. Josef was one of many who escaped. Josef stayed in Germany serving in the Gross-Rosen concentration camp and its sub camps. Yet as the war came to an end Josef was captured as a U.S  prisoner of war. But somehow he fell through the cracks and released Josef thinking he was dead. Josef took this opportunity to hide under an alias from 1945 to 1949 before his family scrounged enough money to send him to Argentina. Josef eventually got citizenship in 1956 in Argentina. In 1959 Josef heard that West  German prosecutors were looking for him and knew where he was. Josef fled to Paraguay before settling there  as well. In 1960 Josef was re discovered again. Josef finally fled to Sao Paulo, Brazil where he stayed. Luckily on February 7th, 1979 Josef Mengele had stroke and died. Yet his body wasn't picked up by the Germans until 1985 where they then did DNA testing on his remains. 34 years and "The Angel of Death" was never brought to justice.
