He performed horrific experiments at Auschwitz and sent hundreds to the gas chambers, yet Dr. Horst Schumann never paid for his crimes

The article reveals new details from Mossad files about the hunt for Dr. Horst Schumann, a Nazi doctor who performed heinous experiments at Auschwitz and sent hundreds to the gas chambers. Schumann, a key figure in the T4 program, ran the euthanasia centers at Grafeneck and Sonnenstein, where thousands were murdered. At Auschwitz, he conducted sterilization experiments using X-rays, causing the deaths of hundreds of prisoners. After the war, he fled to Ghana, living under the protection of President Nkrumah. The Mossad planned to eliminate him in Frankfurt in late 1978, but the operation never materialized. Writer Hans Werner Richter, at the request of Simon Wiesenthal, tried to persuade Nkrumah to extradite Schumann, but failed. Schumann was tried in Germany and given only a suspended sentence, never paying for his crimes.
