Today, 35 years after the well communicated story of the death of the monster, a small article appears in a local unimportant paper in a Kyiv, Ukraine. Surprisingly the Surgeon is alive and is willing to admit his crimes against the human race and especially the Jews. The 3 older x Mossad agents who are in their late 60th became aware to this unfortunate threatening knowledge.
