There are no ex-Nazis, but just a lot of free ones who must be apprehended, tried and punished, Gideon Hausner, former Attorney General of Israel and Eichmann’s prosecutor states in an article published in the current issue of Esquire.
Mr. Hausner enumerates the crimes of some of the major Nazi criminals who are still at large. Also, he reviews the history of anti-Semitism in Germany that pre-dated Hitler; the present attitude toward the prosecution of Nazis; and the political implications of the cutoff date for new prosecutions.
