The Nazi Hunters

More than seven decades after the end of the Second World War, the era of the Nazi hunters is drawing to a close. Their full saga can now be told.

After the Nuremberg trials and the start of the Cold War, the victors in World War II lost interest in prosecuting Nazi war criminals. Many of the lower-ranking perpetrators blended in with the millions who were seeking to rebuild their lives in a new Europe, while those who felt most at risk fled the continent. The Nazi Hunters focuses on the small band of men and women who refused to allow their crimes to be forgotten and who were determined to track them down to the furthest corners of the earth. At first, the Nazi hunters wanted revenge, but soon their story was transformed into a relentless struggle for justice.
