Nazi Dr. Death lived in Cairo!

"One of the world's most wanted Nazi war criminals died 17 years ago in Egypt, the German public broadcaster ZDF reported Wednesday."

"The network says research it conducted with the New York Times shows that Aribert Heim died in Cairo in 1992, according to ZDF's Web site."

"The investigation found that Heim lived under the false name of Tarek Farid Hussein in Cairo until August 10, 1992, when he died of intestinal cancer. "

"ZDF says it has spoken to Heim's son, Ruediger Heim, who told the broadcaster that his father fled Germany to Egypt via France, Spain and Morocco.Ruediger Heim told ZDF that he visited his father in Cairo several times, including in the final weeks of his life when the terminal cancer was discovered."

I followed that story months ago, this is an unexpected twist!It would make a good movie...

He probably sat at Horreya every night sharing his stories with some admiring Egyptians staring him with wide eyes and smiles. What a shame...
