Documents says that Nazi doctor Aribert Heim died in Cairo in 1992

German television reported yesterday that recent documents prove that the world’s most wanted Nazi war criminal, died in Cairo in 1992.

Dr. Aribert Heim, who was a concentration camp doctor, died in 1992 from intestinal cancer, the documents said.

A passport, along with an application for a residence permit, bank slips, personal letters and medical papers, where some of the documents  Heim left behind in a briefcase in a hotel room where he lived under the name Tarek Hussen Farid.

Heim’s son, Ruediger Heim, said that his father converted to Islam and confirmed that Tarek Hussein Farid was indeed his father.

The younger Heim said he visited his father regularly in Cairo and had taken care of him after an operation in 1990.

Head of the Nazi Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Nazi hunt center, said that he has not yet seen the documents, and while it seems that there is definitely a strong possibility that it was indeed Heim, he needs the document to be examined by experts before agreeing that it is Heim.

“If it turns out to be true,” he said, “then the German police have a very important investigation on their hands in terms of prosecuting people who helped Aribert Heim escape justice.”

According to Auroff, Ruediger Heim told him in the past, that the only contact he had with his father was in 1962, when he wrote him two letters, and he did not know if his father was alive or dead.
