==Later developments== <!--PLEASE DO NOT ADD TO THIS SECTION: (1) Boys from Brazil book/film or (2) Angel of Death track by Slayer. Both are trivial popular culture items that do not belong in this article, as discussed on Talk page and deprecated in [[WP:MILPOP]]--> In 2007, the [[United States Holocaust Memorial Museum]] received as a donation the [[Höcker Album]], an album of photographs of Auschwitz staff taken by [[Karl-Friedrich Höcker]]. Eight of the photographs include Mengele.{{sfn|USHMM: SS Auschwitz album}} In February 2010, a 180-page volume of Mengele's diary was sold by [[Alexander Autographs]] at auction for an undisclosed sum to the grandson of a Holocaust survivor. The unidentified previous owner, who acquired the journals in Brazil, was reported to be close to the Mengele family. A Holocaust survivors' organization described the sale as "a cynical act of exploitation aimed at profiting from the writings of one of the most heinous Nazi criminals".{{sfn|Oster|2010}} Rabbi [[Marvin Hier]] of the Simon Wiesenthal Center was glad to see the diary fall into Jewish hands, calling the acquisition significant.{{sfn|Hier|2010}} In 2011 (centenary of Mengele's birth), a further 31 volumes of Mengele's diaries were sold—again amidst protests—by the same auction house to an undisclosed collector of World War II memorabilia for US$245,000.{{sfn|Aderet|2011}}
