The determination of so many people to find the "Angel of Death," a title he won for his power to pick who would live and die in Auschwitz by the wave of his hand, may have borne fruit in last week's exhumation.

But there was also a possibility that Mengele's body had indeed been found and that all kinds of unquiet ghosts could at last be laid to rest.
