Aribert Heim: The Doctor Death of Mauthausen

Autumn 1941: a young Austrian doctor was deployed to Mauthausen concentration camp. Barely six weeks later he had already caused hundreds of deaths. His name was Aribert Heim. He was nicknamed "Dr. Death" or the "Butcher of Mauthausen" and was one of the concentration camp’s most evil torturers. Who was this man who seemed so pleasant, cheery and jovial?

This documentary looks back at the improbable destiny of this man who never repented, and whose violence was tainted with the greatest perversity.
