Synopsis: The stories of thirty war criminals who escaped accountability, from a historian praised for his &“well written, scrupulously researched&” work (The New York Times). This deeply researched book traces the biographies of thirty &“typical&” perpetrators of the Holocaust—some well-known, some obscure—who survived World War II. Donald M. McKale reveals the shocking reality that the perpetrators were rarely, if ever, tried or punished for their crimes, and nearly all alleged their innocence in Germany&’s extermination of nearly six million European Jews. He highlights the bitter contrasts between the comfortable postwar lives of many war criminals and the enduring suffering of their victims, and how, in the face of exhaustive evidence showing their culpability, nearly all claimed ignorance of what was going on—and insisted they had done nothing wrong. &“McKale ends the book with a haunting question: whether life would be different today if the Allies had pursued Holocaust criminals more aggressively after WWII. History buffs and students of the Holocaust will be fascinated.&” ―Publishers Weekly &“Gripping and important reading.&” —Eric A. Johnson, author of What We Knew
