During the next stage of “Operation Judgment,” they would inform the Nazis of who they really were and what they were going to do. Some would admit their guilt and some would keep silent.

(Simon Wiesenthal) 200817338 https://padlet.com/200817338/zyssi93jad1i/wish/354116685 Some of the most famous Nazi hunters were Simon Wiesenthal. Born in 1908, Simon Wiesenthal was an Austrian Jew who spent time in five different concentration camps during the Holocaust. Afterward, he aided American intelligence by supplying information about Nazi war criminals while also helping Jews emigrate from Europe to Palestine. After Israel was created, Wiesenthal went to work with the predecessor of the Mossad, tracking down ex-Nazis such as Adolf Eichmann. Involved in the identification of thousands of ex-Nazis, Wiesenthal was responsible for bringing hundreds of them to become known.

He also manages the Center’s annual “Most Wanted Nazi War Criminals” list. With a job more like a desk sergeant than a bounty hunter, Zuroff doesn’t spend his time going through the Argentinean wilderness like the Nazi hunters of years ago. However, he does have to deal with something most of them never had to: critics. Because the Holocaust happened decades ago, many surviving Nazis are in their eighties and nineties. Feeble, elderly men look less than intimidating, engendering pity from many people.]]> 2019-04-25 14:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/200817338/zyssi93jad1i/wish/354118770 When Was Nazi Hunting Happening? 200817338 https://padlet.com/200817338/zyssi93jad1i/wish/354120106 Nazi hunting is still happening, it began after the Nuremberg Trials in 1946 as well as the start of the cold war.]]> 2019-04-25 14:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/200817338/zyssi93jad1i/wish/354120106 Bibliography: 200817338 https://padlet.com/200817338/zyssi93jad1i/wish/354124209 Works Cited
