OSWIECIM, Poland/TRONDHEIM, Norway (Reuters) - Edith Notowicz first saw Nazi SS doctor Josef Mengele when she arrived at the Auschwitz extermination camp in May 1944, after several days crammed into a cattle train so packed that by journey's end she and her family had to sit on the dead.
"He was in his military uniform, carrying a conductor's baton and waving it in the air, whistling, as he was sorting us out - left, right, left, right - deciding who would live and who would die," said Notowicz, aged 15 at the time and now 90.
