Operation Last Chance, a campaign to find the remaining Nazi war criminals. He works in Jerusalem with just an office manager and a part-time researcher.
The organisation is mostly funded by private donations. And with the hunt for living Nazis ‘in injury time’ – an 18-year-old in 1939 would be 99 now – Zuroff employs social media to track his prey.
Proud of his 8,000-plus Twitter followers, he uses modern methods to solve historical crimes.The pursuit of ‘Student K’ – Zuroff doesn’t want to reveal her name, in case it alerts her, ‘and the fake witnesses start coming out’ – started in 1989, when he came across the testimonies of dozens of Lithuanian survivors.
