Group calls on Hungary to try alleged Nazi collaborator
By GIL SHEFLER |
The world's most wanted living Nazi collaborator is Laszlo Csatary, the Simon
Wiesenthal Center said in its annual report on Thursday.
Csatary was the police chief of Kosice during the deportation of 15,700 local
Jews to Auschwitz in spring 1944, the Jewish group said.
After the war he emigrated to Canada
but was stripped of his citizenship in 1995 when his wartime
role was discovered and subsequently left the country.
Efraim Zuroff, the SWC's Israel director,
said Csatary resurfaced in Hungary earlier this year and
that he hoped local authorities would prosecute him promptly. jpost.com
