Question of the Week
Still Searching for Nazi War Criminals

According to the Independent, Simon Wiesenthal Centre released a list of Nazi war criminals who fled before the Nuremberg trials over 60 years ago.
Most of these criminals, who were either convicted in absentia or are in the process of extradition, are in their 90s. These feeble and aging men were at one time responsible of being part of the deliberate extermination 6,000,000 Jews.
Some of these criminals, like Sandor Kepiro, who had personally been responsible for the deaths of 1,000 Jews in Serbia, or the number one Nazi on the list, Aribert Heim (a.k.a. “Doctor Death”), are among the most reviled, wanted war criminals in history.
Some people are arguing that these men are too old to be tried, while others say they must be tried before they die on their own terms. It simply amazes me that in 2008 we are still seeking the convictions of men who participated in the worst crimes in history.
