Nazi Hunters Ask Hungary to Try 1944 War Crimes Suspect
Vancouver Times Colonist ^ | APRIL 21, 2012

Nazi-hunters from the Simon Wiesenthal Center have named 95-year-old Hungarian Laszlo Csatary as their most wanted war crimes suspect and have asked Hungary to prosecute him, an expert at the centre said.

In its annual report, the centre said that Csatary, who is accused of helping organize the deportation of about 15,700 Jews to the Auschwitz death camp from the Slovakian city of Kosice in 1944, had returned to Hungary from Canada.

Csatary was the commander of police in Kosice, which was part of Hungary during the Second World War. The centre said he had escaped to Canada after the war only to be stripped of his Canadian citizenship in 1997.

On Friday, Efraim Zuroff, the Israel Director of the Wiesenthal Centre, told Reuters that a person in Hungary who wished to remain anonymous had tipped it off about Csatary’s whereabouts via email.

“We know where Csatary is and the information was given to the Hungarian prosecutors … he’s in very good health as we know,” Zuroff said in a telephone interview.]

A waste of resources, IMHO, What is a 95 year old going to do to be a threat to society?

So when is anyone going to hunt down the former Communist leaders all over the world who murdered over 100 million of their own people? Oh I forgot, you can murder innocent people as long as your brand of totalitarian dictatorship is acceptable vs. the fascist brand. In the end, they’re all the same and an affront to humanity and should all be held trial. Fat chance, huh?

Indeed. Has any communist been extradited or brought to trial yet? I don't think so. How about extraditing those responisble for sending 600,000 hungarians to the gulag after the 1956 hungarian uprising? Anyway, I think this bit of news is making the rounds because Hungary just had a conservative revolution, got a new constitution which recognizes God and Christianity, and condemns communism as a criminal conspiracy.
