Hungary – The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center has renewed its call for Hungary to immediately prosecute a top Hungarian war criminal who was never punished for his role in the mass murder of thousands of people during World War II, despite being convicted of war crimes more than six decades ago.

The organization’s chief Nazi hunter, Dr. Efraim Zuroff, has lambasted as “a travesty of justice” the Hungarian authorities’ delay in prosecuting Sandor Kepiro, 94, despite his past conviction in a Hungarian court for war crimes committed in World War II.
“The problem is they are acting as if they have all the time in the world, but we really don’t have time,” Zuroff said Tuesday.
Kepiro was convicted in 1944 for his role in the murder of 1,246 civilians in the city of Novi Sad in January 1942, when he served as a gendarme with an Hungarian army unit, the Wiesenthal Center said. [jpost]
