Hunting for Last Nazi Murderers in U.S.

CITIZEN 865 IS a powerful, important book by Debbie Cenziper, a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist. It could earn her a second prize. It is serious journalism at its best. Citizen 865 reads like a fast-paced mystery novel. But it is not fiction. It is all true. There is no fake news here, no false history. It is a history worth reading and knowing. It is about genocide, the Holocaust, immigration fraud by Nazi war criminals and murderers, and the politics of memory and justice. It takes us from Nazi-occupied Poland to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The book illuminates current politics and reminds us that “never again” means “never forget.”
