The main character is an escaped Nazi dentist based on Josef Mengele, the doctor who conducted experiments on people in the camps, especially children and twins. He was helped by tons of people and died of a stroke and drowned while swimming as a free and happy old man. His son met with him and said he was never one bit remorseful. The part that makes me angriest is the way he was allowed to escape and remain free by people who did nothing to capture him and basically allowed him to remain free. He even used his real name and still no one cared enough to do something to get him for over 20 years. He was "hiding" in plain sight.
