About this listen

Based on exclusive and unrestricted access to more than 5,000 pages of personal writings and family photos, this definitive biography of German physician and SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer Josef Mengele (1911-1979) probes the personality and motivations of Auschwitz's "Angel of Death". From May 1943 through January 1945, Mengele selected who would be gassed immediately, who would be worked to death, and who would serve as involuntary guinea pigs for his spurious and ghastly human experiments (twins were Mengele's particular obsession). With authority and insight, Mengele examines the entire life of the world's most infamous doctor.

whilst the story is no doubt interesting, the narration is very wooden and therefore quite annoying. i gave up after 7 hours.

interesting story

The book itself is great, very interesting and very in depth.
However I do find the narrator to be a bit difficult to get into, it almost sounds like he is an AI and they're using snippets of his voice patched together but I believe this his real talking voice.
Once you get past that though, he's great.


If you are into history and want something more in depth, then I highly recommend this audio book!

AI Narrator but interesting book!

Great if you want to know a lot about the post Auschwitz life and hunt for Mengela. But it jumped about a bit on that front and repeated same periods of time.

Interesting but a lot of padding

Although Bruce Mann has won awards cor his narration, i just couldn't get used to his voice at all. Putting that aside the story is riveting. Although some may require a strong stomach to get past the first two chapters. Great listen.

Great historical work.

the truth

The story is interesting but I kept wondering whether it was being narrated by an AI program. No doubt it is either a very good machine or a strange human. Somehow added to the madness of experimentation in Auschwitz, irionically.
