Yes, thanks American Idiot, I too would like to be able to check out this info.

I haven't discovered anything about this subject that I would consider to be reliable evidence.

I'm sure that it's quite possible that Mengele had a daughter and that she was never told the truth about him. It's also possible that the secret has been leaked out.
But, how do we know what is true and what isn't?

How can we be sure that the daughter exists?
How can we be sure that she was never told the truth about her father?
How can we be sure that she knows the truth now?
How can we be sure that she has tried to contact the Mengele family?
How can we be sure about any of this?

Personally, I think that, if this is all true, then she and all concerned should just be left in peace.


As Nikkums says: not EVERYTHING written on the net is gospel.

And as Sonia says: I hope for her sake that if this is in fact true, that she's left in peace.

Well I've heard back from the friend of my mum who works for the television station in the news department.

He's done some checking around and says he's heard nothing about this at all in Australia and is of the opinion it could be a rumour as some of the sites he found recorded information on were 'less that reputable'. That's just his opinion though.

He's checking further into it and will get back to me.

Hi
This is old history post by now but myself as a new historian am writing a book and came upon these posts and like all involved in history wanted to clarify matters. Those Australian sites were removed by persons...But the truth was this women looking for the birth mother was a con women looking for a dollar from the Mengele family and was aided by a slick criminal partner but she was never accepted by the German Mengele family. The DNA test was just a rouse. Mengele never had an illegitimate Australian daughter but did have another child born abroad to a another wife.

For further information, Josef Mengele had two further marriages- one to an Austrian younger wife in South America who passed away (child together) and later another marriage. Most but not all of the printed accounts of his life and death in South America are conveniently inaccurate but popular in myth.
