Switzerland's Federal Intelligence Service announced it will allow access to the archival file of Dr. Josef Mengele, the SS physician at Auschwitz and one of the most infamous Nazi war criminals. The decision was made after years of rejected requests by historians to review the material, citing protection of intelligence sources and sensitive information. The intelligence service stated that access to the file will be granted under conditions and restrictions to be determined later, and that the case will serve as a basis for a broader review of access policies to classified archival documents.
