THE NEW YORK TIMES: The most wanted at large Nazi doctor fled to Cairo, where he converted to Islam, changed his name and apparently died in 1992.
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Uncovering Lost Path of the Most Wanted Nazi: CAIRO — Even in old age the imposingly tall, athletic German known to locals as Tarek Hussein Farid maintained the discipline to walk some 15 miles each day through the busy streets of Egypt’s capital. He walked to the world-renowned Al Azhar mosque here, where he converted to Islam, and to the ornate J. Groppi Cafe downtown, where he ordered the chocolate cakes he sent to friends and bought the bonbons he gave to their children, who called him Uncle Tarek. >>> Souad Mekhennet and Nicholas Kulish | Wednesday, February 04, 2009

THE TELEGRAPH: A 90-year-old former SS sergeant who was No 4 on the most wanted list of Nazi war criminals has died in Germany before his case came to trial.
Adolf Storms died at his home in the western city of Duisburg on June 28, according to German authorities.
Storms, who worked unnoticed for decades as a train-station manager, was charged by Brendel's office last November with 58 counts of murder for alleged involvement in a wartime massacre of Jewish forced labourers in Austria.
He was on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Most Wanted list. >>> | Tuesday, July 06, 2010

THE TELEGRAPH: An Australian man has taken a lie detector test as part of his battle against extradition to Hungary where he is alleged to have killed a Jewish teenager during the Second World War.
Charles Zentai, 87, is listed by the US-based Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Center as among its 10 most wanted Nazis, but maintains he is innocent.
The Centre claims Zentai "participated in manhunts, persecution, and murder of Jews in Budapest in 1944".
Hungary accuses him of torturing and killing 18-year-old Peter Balazs in a Budapest army barracks on Nov 8, 1944, for failing to wear a star that would identify him as a Jew. Zentai allegedly carried out the attack while serving as a soldier in the Hungarian army, then allied with Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany.
Zentai, who emigrated to Australia in 1950 from his native Hungary, denies the allegations.
In August, a Perth magistrate ruled that Zentai could be extradited to Hungary to face war crime charges. But his lawyers appealed the ruling in the Perth federal court, arguing the crime he is accused of was not an offense under Hungarian law at the time.
Zentai's lawyer, Grant Donaldson, said the charges were not valid. >>> By Bonnie Malkin in Sydney | Wednesday, March 11, 2009
