Department of Justice lawyers will go to Israel to gather evidence against some 65 alleged Nazi war criminals now living in the United States, according to Rep. Joshua Eilberg (D.Pa.), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship and International Law.
Eilberg, in a statement yesterday, said that Attorney General Edward Levi gave “prompt action” on his request after he had explained lawyers on the subcommittee staff were told in Israel “there are definitely witnesses in Israel and that our people would receive full cooperation from the Israeli government.” Although only 18 names on the list of alleged Nazis in the U.S. have been processed so far, Eilberg said “more than sixty witnesses have already been located” about their alleged activities.
