Nazi Hunters Find 80 "War Criminals"
(Wall Street Journal Europe) Andrea Thomas - The Simon Wiesenthal Center said on Wednesday that it sent a list of 80 former members of Nazi death squads to the German government, urging authorities to prosecute those still alive. Efraim Zuroff, the center's top Nazi hunter, said the list included 76 men and four women whom it had identified as members of the Nazis' SS-led Einsatzgruppen in Eastern Europe. The squads murdered more than a million Jews, Gypsies, political opponents and local elites in Poland, the Balkans and the Soviet Union from 1939 to 1943. "There is no reason to ignore these people just because they are elderly. They also don't deserve any sympathy since they obviously had none for their victims," Zuroff said.
