SWITZERLAND TO OPEN SECRET MENGELE FILES AFTER DECADES OF SILENCE JOSEF MENGELE LIVED IN ZURICH IN 1956 The Swiss Federal Intelligence Service (NDB) has announced that it will finally open long-sealed files on the Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele, although no date has been set for access. A historian who challenged the decision is expected to be granted access, subject to conditions that have yet to be defined. The decision marks a reversal of earlier refusals. The files, which were originally classified until 2071, had been withheld on grounds of source protection, privacy rights and national security concerns. Following a legal challenge and renewed internal review, the NDB now cites a changed assessment of the situation. The so-called Mengele dossier is believed to contain police reports, intelligence notes and international correspondence concerning possible movements of the Auschwitz camp doctor in Switzerland after the Second World War. Mengele, an SS physician at Auschwitz, became one of the central perpetrators of the Nazi extermination system, responsible for selections that sent hundreds of thousands to their deaths and for medical experiments on prisoners. A documented visit to Switzerland in 1956 is already known: Mengele spent a ski holiday in Engelberg with his son and partner. More contentious are indications from 1961. At that time, Austrian intelligence reportedly warned Swiss authorities that Mengele might be travelling under an assumed identity and could be in Switzerland. Around the same period, his wife is said to have rented an apartment in Zurich near Kloten airport and applied for residency. Zurich police are understood to have monitored the property and recorded the presence of an unidentified man whose description may have matched Mengele. Whether the fugitive war criminal actually entered Switzerland remains unresolved, as does the extent of the authorities’ knowledge at the time. Historians hope the files will clarify how Swiss authorities handled the information and what level of verification was possible. Critics argue that the continued secrecy has fuelled speculation rather than reducing it. The NDB had previously justified the prolonged classification by citing the protection of sources and informants, the privacy of relatives, and security considerations. Some historians, including Sacha Zala, have criticised this approach as overly restrictive, arguing that it hampers academic research and encourages conspiracy theories. The case also forms part of a broader debate on Switzerland’s handling of its Second World War legacy, particularly in the context of the Bergier Commission’s work in the late 1990s, which examined Swiss wartime and post-war policy and had access to extensive federal archives. While the planned opening of the Mengele file represents a shift towards greater transparency, it is expected to remain a controlled process with significant redactions. The timing of actual access for researchers remains unclear, as does whether the documents will provide new evidence about Mengele’s possible presence in Switzerland. The announcement comes after years of repeated requests from historians and a formal appeal that ultimately prompted the intelligence service to reconsider its position. Officials have indicated that access will be granted under conditions and requirements still to be determined.

In Remembrance of Hedy Lamarr. Born | November 9, 1914 in Vienna, Austria. Died | January 19, 2000 aged 85 in Casselberry, Florida, USA. Hedy Lamarr, the woman many critics and fans alike regard as the most beautiful ever to appear in films, was born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler in Vienna, Austria. She was the daughter of Gertrud (Lichtwitz), from Budapest, and Emil Kiesler, a banker from Lemberg (now known as Lviv). Her parents were both from Jewish families. Hedwig had a calm childhood, but it was cinema that fascinated her. By the time she was a teenager, she decided to drop out of school and seek fame as an actress, and was a student of theatre director Max Reinhardt in Berlin. Her first role was a bit part in the German film Geld auf der Straße (1930) (aka “Money on the Street”) in 1930. She was attractive and talented enough to be in three more German productions in 1931, but it would be her fifth film that catapulted her to worldwide fame. In 1932 she appeared in a Czech film called Ekstase (US title: “Ecstasy”) and had made the gutsy move to appear nude. It's the story of a young girl who is married to a gentleman much older than she, but she winds up falling in love with a young soldier. The film's nude scenes created a sensation all over the world. The scenes, very tame by today's standards, caused the film to be banned by the U.S. government at the time. Hedy soon married Fritz Mandl, a munitions manufacturer and a prominent Austrofascist. He attempted to buy up all the prints of “Ecstasy” he could lay his hands on (Italy's dictator, Benito Mussolini, had a copy but refused to sell it to Mandl), but to no avail (there are prints floating around the world today). The notoriety of the film brought Hollywood to her door. She was brought to the attention of MGM mogul Louis B. Mayer, who signed her to a contract (a notorious prude when it came to his studio's films, Mayer signed her against his better judgment, but the money he knew her notoriety would bring in to the studio overrode any moral concerns he may have had). However, he insisted she change her name and make good, wholesome films. Hedy starred in a series of exotic adventure epics. She made her American film debut as Gaby in Algiers (1938). This was followed a year later by Lady of the Tropics (1939). In 1942, she played the plum role of Tondelayo in the classic White Cargo (1942). After World War II, her career began to decline, and MGM decided it would be in the interest of all concerned if her contract were not renewed. Unfortunately for Hedy, she turned down the leads in both Gaslight (1940) and Casablanca (1942), both of which would have cemented her standing in the minds of the American public. At the beginning of World War II, along with composer George Antheil, Lamarr co-invented a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes that used spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of radio jamming by the Axis powers. This approach, conceptualised as a “Secret Communication System”, was intended to provide secure, jam-resistant communication for weapon guidance by spreading the signal across multiple frequencies. Similar technology was used in operational systems only beginning in 1962, which was well after World War II and three years after the expiry of the Lamarr-Antheil patent. Frequency hopping, which existed and was utilised before the Lamarr-Antheil patent, is a foundational technology for spread spectrum communications. Its principles are utilised for secure wireless networking, including Bluetooth and early versions of Wi-Fi, which use variants of spread spectrum to protect data from interception and interference. In 1949, Hedy Lamarr starred as Delilah opposite Victor Mature's Samson in Cecil B. DeMille's epic Samson and Delilah (1949). This proved to be Paramount Pictures' then most profitable movie to date, bringing in $12 million in rental from theatres. The film's success led to more parts, but it was not enough to ease her financial crunch. She made only six more films between 1949 and 1957, the last being The Female Animal (1957). The 1970s was a decade of increasing seclusion for Lamarr. She was offered several scripts, television commercials, and stage projects, but none piqued her interest. In 1974, she filed a $10 million lawsuit against Warner Bros., claiming that the running parody of her name (“Hedley Lamarr”) in the Mel Brooks comedy Blazing Saddles infringed her right to privacy. Brooks said he was flattered. The studio settled out of court for an undisclosed nominal sum and an apology to Lamarr for “almost using her name”. Brooks said that Lamarr “never got the joke”. In 1981, with her eyesight failing, Lamarr retreated from public life and settled in Miami Beach, Florida. A large Corel-drawn image of Lamarr won CorelDRAW's yearly software suite cover design contest in 1996. For several years, beginning in 1997, it was featured on boxes of the software suite. Lamarr sued the company for using her image without her permission. Corel countered that she did not own rights to the image. The parties reached an undisclosed settlement in 1998. For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Lamarr has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6247 Hollywood Boulevard adjacent to Vine Street where the walk is centered. Lamarr became estranged from her older son, James Lamarr Loder, when he was 12 years old. Their relationship ended abruptly, and he moved in with another family. They did not speak again for almost 50 years. Lamarr left James Loder out of her will, and he sued for control of the US$3.3 million estate left by Lamarr in 2000. He eventually settled for US$50,000. In her later years, Lamarr lived in Altamonte Springs, Florida, before moving to Casselberry, Florida, in the final months of her life. She communicated with family and friends almost exclusively by telephone. However, after moving to Casselberry, two friends who lived nearby would visit her at home to check on her a few times a week. On January 19, 2000, Lamarr was found dead at her home in Casselberry at the age of 85; the cause of death was heart disease. Her son Anthony Loder spread part of her ashes in Austria's Vienna Woods in accordance with her last wishes. In 2014, a memorial to Lamarr was unveiled in Vienna's Central Cemetery. The remainder of her ashes were buried there.
