The ‘best Nazi hunter in the United States’, as Eli Rosenbaum has been called by the international press, a lawyer of Jewish descent, but with American nationality who was for many years the director of the Department of Special Investigations (OSI), an institution in charge of investigating the most heinous crimes in the world, among them, prosecuting former soldiers of Nazi Germany.

In his work he has achieved the deportation of more than a hundred officers of Adolf Hitler’s army who were hiding in the US and other countries around the world for prosecution.
Now, and after 36 years of work, the Department of Justice of this North American nation has appointed him as one of the main investigators to bring war criminals in Ukraine to justice.
Its work is to investigate irregularities that have occurred in matters that have to do with human rights and in actions not permitted in the legal framework of the Geneva and The Hague conventions.
“There is no hiding place for war criminals. The US Department of Justice will pursue all avenues of accountability for those who commit war crimes and other atrocities in Ukraine,” said Merrick Garland, the US Attorney General who appointed Rosenbaum to the post, during a press conference on Ukrainian soil.

“Working alongside our domestic and international partners, the Justice Department will be relentless in our efforts to hold accountable every person complicit in the commission of war crimes, torture and other serious violations during the unprovoked conflict in Ukraine,” he added.
A job similar to capturing Nazis?
After his appointment, Rosenbaum has been called to several interviews for local media. ‘The Nazi hunter’ stated during a conversation with the ‘NPR’ network that he worked looking for former soldiers and officers of Nazi Germany are remarkably similar to the investigation of war criminals in Ukraine, but now there are more technological tools.
“I am optimistic about the possibility that justice will be done (…) There are many, many cases in which the perpetrators of heinous crimes, even the main figures of a government such as the former president of Serbia, Slobodan Milošević, have been brought Before the court”.

He explained that the objective of his work is to be able to guarantee that the victims have support before international justice, since they are cases of maximum urgency because they are immersed in a conflict that is developing.
In addition, he recognized that this work tries to make this accountability be one more reason for leaders to refrain from promoting confrontations of this kind.
On the other hand, he stated that the differentiation in the identification of these criminals compared to the Nazis is that there are technological artifacts that allow them to be more easily identified, because he believes that this time he will not get “paper documents, but digital interceptions, DNA samples or GPS data.”

Likewise, He referred to the argument sent by the Kremlin in which it accuses the Zelensky government of allegedly being a state sponsor of National Socialist ideologies.
“When I hear that, to me it’s like nails on a blackboard multiplied by a thousand. It’s mean. It’s false. This is not a Nazi government, far from it. I believe that after almost 40 years of investigating and persecuting the perpetrators of the Nazis, I know a Nazi when I see one. This is another outrage by the Kremlin,” he concluded.
