| Human
rights group examines war criminal claims |
A Jewish human rights group says it will be several weeks
before it can confirm a report that a suspected second Nazi war criminal
is living in Perth. The revelation of a second suspect came after the
arrest of a Perth man for war crimes in July. Perth resident Charles
Zentai, 83, was arrested for the alleged murder of a Jewish teenager
during World War II. Mr Zentai denies the allegation and is fighting
extradition to Hungary. The Simon Wiesenthal Centre says it is investigating
an allegation of a second Nazi war criminal living in Perth.
Efraim Zuroff from the centre says the alleged crime took place in eastern
Europe but it will be several weeks before the report can be verified. "We
are trying to evaluate that evidence so at this point there's just a
suspicion, and that suspicion has to be investigated and evaluated," Dr Zuroff said.
Dr Zuroff says he is certain there are more Nazi war criminals living
in Australia. more... |

An Australian priest has defended the character of a suspected Nazi war

Charles Zentai is accused of murdering a Jewish teenager in Nazi-controlled
Hungary in 1944.
Mr Zentai, 83, denies the allegation, but Hungarian authorities want him
to stand trial.
Australia's justice minister, Chris Ellison, authorised Mr Zentai's arrest
on Friday, saying his decision was based on new information provided by
Hungary.
Father John Flynn says Mr Zentai has been a member of his church for several
years and has described him as kind and gentle man.
"Because of his overall generally fine character, good reputation, gentleness,
his contribution as an Australian citizen, his being a good Australian citizen,
and all the rest, I think he should be left in peace," he said. more... |

STARTS ACTIONS BEYOND ITS BORDERS |
The

This decision means that there is no practical legal obstacle to try in
Israeli court foreign citizens for such crimes. Jerusalem Post, reporting
the news, notes that the aim of the law is to deter Holocaust deniers visiting
Israel. The newspaper also notes that the affected countries would not
be too cooperative to extradite their citizens but the law is extraterritorial.
Earlier MNO had written that the agents of Mosad were active in Hungary,
too, and were authorized to kill if necessary. András
Tóth, state secretary of national security said then that no liquidations could
be made without the permit of the Hungarian authority. The announcement
of the ’Last Chance Operation’ to hunt down remaining Nazis has created recently a storm in Hungary and Attila
Péterfalvi, ombudsman for data protection said it was illegal to take out data
collected in Hungary but Efraim Zuroff, head of Simon Wiesenthal Institute

civil complaint was passed on to the Ombudsman in connection with Simon

has the right to collect informations in Hungary. The Center started its
actions in a few other countries, and now in Hungary looks for still living
war criminals, who were not yet punished. The Wiesenthal Center expects
infos on ex-nazis via phone calls and will give reward of 10 thousand euros
for credited data. Efraim Zuroff told to the paper that the first reward
will be given to a person who lives in Croatia. The director of the Jerusalem
Center pointed out: not one name or data will ever be publicized. Mr. Attila
Péterfalvi, the Ombudsman thinks: Already the investigation of the information
is strictly watched by the Privacy Protection Law. “But I do not want to make any statements about this delicate issue, before with
my colleagues, we examine thoroughly the complaint”, the Ombudsman added. |

| New
Nazi hunt launched in Hungary |
Wiesenthal
Center has launched a campaign in Hungary offering rewards for information
on Nazi war criminals, local media reported Wednesday.
The Jewish anti-Nazi organization has already launched similar campaigns
in other countries across Central and Eastern Europe.
Anyone bringing forward information on surviving Nazi war criminals could
be eligible for a $12,000 reward, a good yearly salary in Hungary.
An advertising campaign will include a telephone number that potential
informants can call with information. If it leads to a conviction they
will get the reward.
More than half a million Hungarian Jews were killed in the Holocaust. Most
were deported from Hungary to Nazi death camps in 1944. The Hungarian Jews
were among the last major groups to die in the Nazi camps.
The Wiesenthal Center believes the age of the people suspected of collaborating
in the deportations -- many are thought to be in their 90s -- should not
be used as an excuse for failing to prosecute them given the enormity of
their crimes. |

SEARCH TARGETS NAZI COLLABORATORS |
BUDAPEST
-- A hunt for Nazi collaborators who committed Holocaust-related crimes
during World War II is under way in Hungary, the Jewish rights group the
Simon Wiesenthal Center announced in Budapest on Tuesday.
The hunt, dubbed Operation Last Chance, seeks to bring World War II criminals
who are still alive to justice, said Efraim Zuroff, the center's director
in Israel and coordinator of the project.
An estimated 600,000 Hungarian Jews perished in the Holocaust at the hands
of Nazis and Hungary's collaborationist government.
Operation Last Chance was launched in July 2002 in Lithuania, Latvia and
Estonia. The addition of Hungary brings to eight the number of countries
involved and the Wiesenthal Center is planing to extend the operation to
Argentina, Germany and Ukraine by the end of the year. |
