Description THE US JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS RECEIVED A LIST OF 74 PEOPLE ACCUSED OF BEING NAZI WAR CRIMINALS WHO REPORTEDLY ARE LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES. THE LIST CAME FROM THE SIMON WIESENTHAL CENTER IN WASHINGTON, DC.
Script (SUGGESTED TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO) 00:01 It's been more than 40 years since the atrocities of World War Two, and among those who will never forget and never forgive are the Nazi hunters at the Simon Wiesenthal Center. And from them, the Justice Department today received a list that center officials say contains the names of 74 suspected war criminals who entered the US after world war 247, 00:23 are alleged to have personally participated in mass murder. Seven and another 17 were members of murder squads or police battalions that part took in the liquidation of Jews in Lithuania and Latvia and the rest are collaborators that aided and abetted the Nazi cause. Rabbi 00:47 Heyer did not make any of the names public, but he says many of the suspects are still alive and residing in the US. They range in age, he says, from 64 to 85 and although they may be old and the crimes took place a long time ago. Rabbi Heyer makes no apologies for trying to track them down. The Wiesenthal Center says it finally has access to immigration files previously not available to it, and that's how it learned of the suspected war criminals entering the US. Now it's up to the Office of Special Investigations here at the Justice Department to look into those allegations. Mark Knoller, Washington.
