	In 1985, Burda-Verlag purchased from Rolf Mengele the handwritten notes of his father, Josef Mengele, which consisted of several thousand pages, for one million Deutsche Marks, which resulted in the Bunte's publishing a series of articles on the notorious doctor from the Auschwitz concentration camp, who was among the perpetrators of gruesome medical experiments on live human beings. The Burda-Verlag did not pay royalties from reprints to Rolf Mengele, instead they went to the survivors of Auschwitz and their dependents.
