BERLIN (AP) — German police say they are awaiting approval from Egypt to travel
to Cairo and investigate claims that a notorious Nazi doctor
died there in 1992.
New information indicates Austrian-born concentration camp doctor Aribert Heim
lived in Cairo under an Arab name before his death from
intestinal cancer. Heim is accused of murdering hundreds
of Jews.
Horst Haug, a spokesman for
the Baden-Wuerttemberg state police unit tasked with
Nazi-era crimes, said Monday that investigators hope
to go to Cairo by the end of this week to search for
definitive proof of Heim's death.
German broadcaster ZDF and
the New York Times reported last week that Heim's remains
might not be found because he was buried in a cemetery
where graves are reused after several years.
