The world's most wanted Nazi criminal, Aribert Ferdinand Heim, died in 1992 in Cairo, Egypt, according to reports from both the New York Times and Germany's ZDF television.Aribert Ferdinand Heim was a member of Adolf Hitler’s elite Waffen-SS. He was also an MD at the Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen and Mauthausen concentration camps.
Heim earned the nickname Dr. Death for various profane acts, including performing operations on prisoners without anesthesia, removing organs from healthy inmates, then leaving them to die on the operating table, injecting poison into the hearts of inmates, and still more.
Aribert Ferdinand Heim managed to eke out a living in Germany, much of it in Baden-Baden with a wife, two sons and a medical practice as a gynecologist.
In 1962 he escaped capture just as investigators closed in; since then his whereabouts were unknown.
ZDF said that in a joint investigation with the NYT, it found that Heim had been living in a hotel room under the pseudonym Tarek Hussein Farid. According to the report, he had converted to Islam.
ZDF also quoted Ruediger Heim, Aribert's son as confirming the alias as his father's assumed name and documents ZDF found as belonging to him.
However, although ZDF uncovered a death certificate for Farid, they did not find the grave, and thus, the Simon Wiesenthal Center will not close the case. Head Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff said, "There's no grave, there's no corpse, there's no DNA tests."
