‘Get the Nazi out of New York.’ The secret operation to deport the last living Nazi defendant in the U.S. was a rare success.
Eli Rosenbaum had for years watched as Nazi war criminals lingered in the United States despite court orders for their deportation. He pushed for the last surviving Nazi defendant in the United States to be removed to Germany. A tentative deal had been struck to remove Palij from the United States — 14 years after an immigration judge ordered him deported. The last Nazi war-crimes suspect facing deportation from the United States was heading to Germany. More than 65 people were removed from the United States over the years, but some OSI defendants were turned away by foreign governments.
