| Should We Continue to Prosecute Nazi War Criminals? |
The recent conviction of a 93-year-old Auschwitz guard reignited a debate about prosecuting the remaining few Nazi war criminals. Most observers call for a no-holds-barred hunt for the Holocaust perpetrators who have evaded justice for decades, but others point to their old age, legal issues and difficulty in proving the crimes, arguing that after nearly 80 years, the pursuit should come to a conclusion. more.. |

as early as 1952 that arch-Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann, the person
responsible for implementing and maximizing the Nazis' Endlősung plan
for the annihilation of the Jewish people, was living in Argentina
under the name of Clement, and the German government did absolutely

month of the trial of 89-year-old John Demjanjuk, the retired U.S.
auto worker who is charged as an accessory to the murder of 27,900
Jews for his alleged activities as a guard at the Sobibor concentration
camp in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II. Millions of others
watched on TV or on their computers as Demjanjuk was wheeled into the
courtroom on a hospital gurney. more... |
