One of many wanted war criminals

German Samuel Kunz is accused of committing horrific crimes during the Second World War, and he's not alone.

The 90-year-old German, thought to be involved in the murder of more than 400,000 Jews, is one of many men accused of war crimes related to the Holocaust.

John Demjanjuk is being tried by a court in Munich in connection with the deaths of 27,900 Jews while he was allegedly a guard at Sobibor death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland.

Notorious as an SS guard, the Ukraine-born man has the dubious distinction of being on the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s list of the 10 most-wanted war criminals thought to be alive.

Here are the others:

DR. SANDOR KEPIRO

Suspected of being complicit in the murder of Jews and Serbs during the war, when he was a Hungarian policeman, Kepiro was sentenced to ten years in prison in 1944. He was acquitted the same year. In 2007, a Hungarian court ruled his case could not be re-opened because his conviction had already been overturned. Last fall, Serbia’s war crimes prosecutor requested an investigation into Kepiro.

MILIVOJ ASNER

A police chief in eastern Croatia during the war, Asner admits to ordering the deportation of Jews and Serbs but says he didn’t send them to death camps. When he was discovered living in Croatia four years ago, he moved to Austria. That country has refused to extradite him, claiming he is too frail physically and mentally.

SOEREN KAM

Kam was a member of the SS and has been accused of acting on behalf of the Nazis in Denmark, his homeland. He is suspected of being involved in the 1943 murder of Carl Henrik Clemmensen, a journalist who spoke out against the Nazis. Kam moved to Germany after the war, and became a citizen eleven years later. He was arrested in 2006 but a German court has delayed a decision on whether to extradite him to Denmark.

KLAAS CARL FABER

Faber – believed to have served in the German Security Service in the Netherlands – was convicted of murdering prisoners at a prison and at a transit camp. He was sentenced to death in the Netherlands in 1944. The sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in 1948. He escaped three years later.

HEINRICH BOERE

After being captured by U.S. forces, Boere confessed to killing three Dutch civilians as part of an SS hit squad in 1944. He escaped to Germany. He was sentenced to death in absentia in the Netherlands, but a German court refused an extradition request in 1980. A German court indicted him last year, but he didn’t have to stand trial because he was deemed too frail.

KAROLY ZENTAI

Accused of killing a Jewish teenager in Budapest in 1944, Zentai says he left the Hungarian capital the day before the murder. Zentai, who was an officer in the pro-Nazi Hungarian military during the war, emigrated to Australia in the 1950s. He was arrested four years ago and a federal judge ruled that Zentai is eligible for extradition to Hungary.

MIKHAIL GORSHKOW

Born in Estonia, Gorshkow is thought to have been a Gestapo interrogator during the war. He is accused of being complicit in the murder of 3,000 civilians living in a ghetto in Belarus. Gorshkow became an American citizen in 1953, but was denaturalized nine years ago. Estonian officials are looking into his activities during the war.

ALGIMANTAS DAILIDE

A volunteer in Lithuania’s secret police during the war, Dailide claims he had a low-level desk job. But three years ago, Lithuanian judicial officials convicted him of handing over Jews trying to escape a ghetto, and sentenced him to five years in prison. He sentence was suspended because of failing health. The Jews he turned over were later murdered.

HARRY MANNIL

Mannil was a policeman in Estonia during the war, and is accused of arresting Jews and communists who were later executed by the Nazis. Estonian officials have cleared him of the charges but Mannil, who is now an affluent automobile executive in Venezuela, is on a watch list and is barred from entering the U.S.
