This is flat out crazy and this makes me sick everytime I see one of these Nazi Hunter articles the way they torment these Old Men; leave them alone. Stupid question and or thought do these ‘Nazi Hunters’ do anything else aside from making these poor men and their families live in hell their remaining days on earth. Where do they get all their money to live on and or funding for rewards ? Just saying. Shera~
Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Centre, named after the famous Nazi-hunter, has published its annual report on the investigation and prosecution of Nazi criminals around the world.

In 1977, Rabbi Hier came to Los Angeles to create the Simon Wiesenthal Center, named in honor of famed Nazi hunter, Simon Wiesenthal. Under his leadership, the Center has become one of the foremost Jewish human rights agencies in the world, with a constituency of more than 400,000 families, and offices throughout the United States, in Canada, Europe, Israel and Argentina. In 1993, an article in the Los Angeles Times noted that Rabbi Hier had made the Wiesenthal Center, “the most visible Jewish organization in the world” and, in 2007, and again in, 2008, an article in Newsweek named him the “Most Influential Rabbi in America.”

History of the Schutzstaffel
“Eicke viewed the SS-Totenkopfverbände (Death’s Head unit) as an elite within the elite structure of the SS. This concept grew from the fact that the most dangerous political enemies of the state were incarcerated in the concentration camps and Hitler had given sole responsibility for guarding and running the camps to the SS- Totenkopfverbände. Eicke repeatedly pressed home his principles in orders, circulars and memoranda. The whole of the SS-Totenkopfverbände training was based on elitism, toughness and comradeship, together with a regime of ruthless discipline.” Christopher Ailsby, from his book, Hell on the Eastern Front, the Waffen-SS War in Russia 1941 – 1945

The names of SS-Death’s Head (Totenkopf) division camp guards Hans Lipschis and Theodor Szehinskyj have been included in the related top 10 of most wanted Nazis.
Lipschis, 94, is believed to be responsible of mass murder and other war crimes as he served as a guard at Auschwitz-Birkenanu concentration camps during the war.
He fled to the US in the ’50s but was captured and extradited to Germany about 30 years later. His role at Auschwitz-Birkenanu is currently under investigation by German authorities.
It has been estimated that 1.5m Jews were killed in Auschwitz-Birkenau by the Nazis. Every year, thousands of youths held a silent 3-km march starting from Auschwitz’s main gate with its notorious Arbeit Macht Frei (Work Makes You Free) inscription, as part of Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations.
Ukranian-born Szehinskyj, 89, served at Gross-Rosen, Sachsenhausen and the Warsaw concentration camps.
After the war, he also fled to the US, from where he was ordered to be deported in 2003. However no country has been willing to take him.
Szehinskyj and Lipschis’ names replaced those of Klaas Faber and Karoly Zentai.
Faber died in Germany aged 90 in May 2012, while Zentai, 89, won a legal battle against extradition from Australia – where he lives – to Hungary – where he is wanted on war crime charges – in August last year.
Topping the list is Alois Brunner, who is accused of being an aide for Adolf Eichmann and the responsible for the deportation of thousands of Jews. Brunner, 101 if still alive, was last seen in Damascus, Syria in the ’90s.
“During the past twelve years, at least ninety-nine convictions against Nazi war criminals have been obtained, at least eighty-nine new indictments have been filed, and well over three thousand new investigations have been initiated,” said the author of the report, Efraim Zuroff. >>>MORE<<<
