65 years have gone by the end of World War II and are still finding and convicting Nazi criminals, such as Dutch Heinrich Boere, who received 88 years imprisonment. Simon Wiesenthal, Beate Klarsfeld and her husband Serge are three tireless pursuers of those fanatics who killed millions of Jews. Here are some of his most resonant cases

Nuremberg Trials between 1945 and 1946, are the seeds of what today is called international justice and transmitted a message to criminals Nazi World War II remains valid: the crimes against humanity for which they prescribed were never pursued. As prescribed no -65 years after the end of the war for former SS member Heinrich Boere, who at 88 years in a wheelchair a few days ago he heard his sentence to life imprisonment for killing three members of the resistance against Adolf Hitler in Holland. Boere already had a death sentence for the same case in the Netherlands. But without the threat of extradition to that country, lived in a relaxed manner in Germany for several decades until in 2000 the German tax Ulrich Maass initiated investigations on his case, which resulted in the process than just condemn.
Next on the verdict of justice is the Nazi criminal John Demjanjuk (aka "Ivan the Terrible"), 89 years and Ukrainian origin, who was extradited from U.S. in May 2009. He faces a process in Munich for their complicity in the deaths of 27,900 Jews at the Sobibor extermination camp.
In August 2009, also in Munich, was sentenced to life imprisonment Josef Scheungraber, 90 years and former officer in Hitler. HUNTING
party bigwigs of the leaders of the SS was condemned at Nuremberg; otros, como el comandante de la siniestra guardia hitleriana, Heinrich Himmler, consiguieron suicidarse con cianuro mientras estaban encarcelados.
De los siete millones de afiliados que tenía el Partido Nacional Socialista, se calcula que unos 100 mil fueron capturados, delatados por los tatuajes con su grupo sanguíneo que llevaban en el brazo. Otros adoptaron nuevas identidades y empezaron a trabajar para gobiernos o empresas transnacionales alrededor del mundo. Estos huyeron del cerco aliado por la denominada ruta de las ratas, gracias a un plan concebido por los nazis antes del fin de la guerra: salían de Alemania, atravesando los Alpes, hacia Italia para terminar en Medio Oriente. Otra opción era llegar hasta España, gobernada then by dictator Francisco Franco, or go to South America.
And in this latter region was the flagship operation against a Nazi.
Simon Wiesenthal (1908-2005), a survivor of the concentration camp of Mauthausen-Gusen, Austria, devoted much of his life to the pursuit of Nazis. In 1957 he learned that Adolf Eichmann, a lieutenant colonel in the SS and head of the final solution (the plan to execute the Jewish population), was hiding in Argentina under the name of Ricardo Klement and worked as a laborer for the Mercedes-Benz. The data were transmitted to the Israeli secret service, Mossad, which took two years to confirm.
In his book "Mossad, the secret history," British writer Gordon Thomas reports that in 1960 Israel gave the green light to the operation would end in the kidnapping of Nazi war criminal. The agent Rafi Eitan would lead the team. Arrived in Buenos Aires on May 1 of that year. Officially, it was the Israeli delegation to attend the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the May Revolution. Only they knew that in the plane of the Israeli airline El Al had moved them to carry a cell Eichmann. For three days
watched the Nazis. They knew when and where taking the bus that took him to work and back home. The timing of the kidnapping was the night of May 11. At 8:05 on that day he stopped the bus that brought Eichmann to return home.
"We marched right behind him. I was walking fast ... The car approached Eichmann, barely had time to turn around and look in amazement at the specialist out of the vehicle. I jumped out of the car. I grabbed the neck with such force that I saw how he rolled his eyes. A little more and I would have strangled Eichmann ... I threw back seat. The affair lasted no more than five seconds, "Eitan told Gordon Thomas. Ten days later, it was time leaving for Israel. Eichmann forced to drink a bottle of whiskey. The agents also sprayed their own dress with liquor. At the checkpoint of the airport where the aircraft was Israeli, the Argentine military stopped their vehicle. In the backseat, Eichmann slept. "We Jews drunks who could not hold the liquor Argentina. The guards seemed fun and did not even look at Eichmann, "said Eitan.
After the trial in Israel, Eichmann was sentenced to death. Hours before his execution, May 31, 1962, Eitan was found with the Nazis. "He looked at me and said:" There will come the time to follow me, a Jew. " I replied, "But not today, Adolf, not today, '" recalled the agent of the Mossad. PERSEVERANCE
Germany's Beate Klarsfeld and her French husband Serge, whose Jewish father died in the Auschwitz concentration camp, also dedicated his life to hunting Nazis. Even the life of Beate was filmed by the movie "The Beate Klarsfeld Story" (1986), which was played by actress Farrah Fawcett.
One of his most notable findings was that of fierce concentration camp guard in Drancy, France, Ernest Heinnrichsohn, who 30 years after the war was a respected mayor a village in Bavaria, Germany. The pressure exerted in the public resulted in a lawsuit against the Nazis, who eventually was sentenced to six years in prison.
Chile also found in the Nazi Walter Rauff, who in 1942 killed thousands of Polish Jews using the smoke exhaust of the trucks. This criminal was captured by the Allies in 1945, but two years later escaped from prison and was later recruited by Syrian intelligence. He arrived in Chile in 1958. In 1984 Beate located the house where he lived Rauff and summoned the media to pressure the government of dictator Augusto Pinochet extradited to the to Germany. A few days later, on May 14, Rauff died of a heart attack victim. Another Nazi
Klarsfeld was hunted by the Gestapo chief of Lyon, Klaus Barbie. After the war, Barbie fled from France to Germany and adopted a new identity. Later he was employed by the intelligence service of the U.S. Army Traveled to Bolivia in 1951 and in 1971 he moved to Peru, where he revealed his true identity (at the time the Klarsfeld tracked him), a fact that forced him to return to Bolivia, where he was finally extradited in 1983. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and died in prison in 1991.
