Kupferberg Holocaust Center Exhibition: The Jacket from Dachau: Justice

At the end of WWII the Allies declared the Nazi party a criminal organization, and pledged to prosecute and punish the architects and triggermen of genocide. several hundred thousand Gestapo, SS, and Wehrmacht forces had engaged in war crimes and atrocities against civilians. But only a few thousand Nazi criminals and collaborators were convicted at the Nuremberg trials. In the absence of an international manhunt and centralized prosecution, the task of bringing Nazi criminals to justice was undertaken by a handful of individuals–acting without official status or government support. These so-called Nazi hunters collectively identified and brought to justice thousands of Nazi criminals. Narrated by Candice Bergen, this is an unprecedented examination of the six-decade global hunt for the 20th century’s greatest criminals.
