Nazi hunters frustrated with Germany and Austria's indifference
Jerusalem-based Nazi hunters, engaged in a race against time to find and prosecute World War II criminals before they die of old age, say they are frustrated that some European governments have not shown the same sense of urgency.
German authorities appear to have given up trying to bring the former Nazis to justice, while Austria has become "a paradise for war criminals," said Efraim Zuroff, director of the Israel-based Simon Wiesenthal Center.
"In Germany, they are treating these cases as if they have all the time in the world to reach a verdict and that's simply not the case," said Mr. Zuroff, who heads the Wiesenthal Center's Operation Last Chance pursuit of the war criminals, most of whom are now in their 90s.
