Berlin – German prosecutors say they are investigating the death of one of the world’s most-wanted Nazi suspects who passed away in November before he could be brought to trial.

Bonn prosecutor Robin Fassbender said Monday that a doctor had ruled that Samuel Kunz died of natural causes at age 89, but that an attorney involved in the case had expressed doubts and had asked for an autopsy.
Fassbender says that’s now complete but the results cannot be released until the investigation is finished.
Kunz had been indicted on charges he was involved in killing hundreds of thousands of Jews as a guard at the Belzec death camp.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center listed Kunz last year as the world’s third most wanted Nazi.
I guess his civil rights were violated, should have been treated like a rabid rodent
Justice is not meted out on earth. We do our best and shouldn’t rest ’til they’re all apprehended, but only when these monsters meet their Maker will true “tzedek” be meted out. If his death was “hastily arranged” to avoid punishment down here, he was only successful in speeding up his demise in the afterlife of gehinom. Wonder how he’s enjoying Judgment Day…….
(Reply to Kzler #1 ): It is truly fascinating to see that we are both interested in the same stories. Look at the above times when we both posted! You clearly are passionate about many of the same headlines that attract me – Nazi hunting, issues of justice, Holocaust education, working and parnassah issues vs. learning, etc. I responded to your Eichmann post under my “Speakup” name, but as the child of a survivor, my identity is very much tied to my father’s tragic losses and the miracle of his survival (ghetto, Auschwitz) during the Churban. Thus my “Survivor’s Child” second name. You are a true survivor, Kzler, and a very wise one at that. My respect for you is immense, and I always look forward to reading your comments on VIN!
