The death of the Hungarian Laszlo Csatary, one of the most wanted Nazi criminals in the world, does not end with the list of assassins of the regime of terror established by Hitler who still continue to evade the responsibility for their crimes.

Csatary, who served as a Hungarian police officer in Kosice, helped organize the deportation to Auschwitz of approximately 15,700 Jews from and around Kosice in the spring of 1944.

Other sources say that he lived in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. He continues to search and capture, although he has just turned 100, it is unknown if he has died.

2 - Aribert Heim (?)

Known as the 'death doctor', he was the camp doctor in Mauthausen, where he carried out all kinds of experiments with the prisoners, as direct injections into the heart of his victims, according to the Spanish survivor Marcelino Bilbao. He is accused of thousands of deaths and torture.

On March 15, 1945, Heim was captured by US soldiers and sent to a camp for prisoners of war. He was released in dubious circumstances and went on to work as a gynecologist in the German town of Baden Baden.

In 1962, an informant leaked to him that the Austrian police investigated him by war crimes, and disappeared. He moved from Spain, Uruguay, and probably also Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, to his establishment in Egypt, under the alias of Tarek Farid Hussein.

He was speculated on his death in 1992 in the North African country, where his personal documents were found. However, his tomb and body were never found. It was last seen in 2005, again in Spain, supposedly enjoying a holiday on the Costa Brava. He currently has (or would be) 98 years old.

New research by Swedish historian Per Anders Rudling revealed Katriuk's active role in the mass murder of Katyn village residents in Belarus and provided a firm basis for reversing the decision not to strip Katriuk of her Canadian citizenship.

5- Hans Lipschis (Germany)

He served on the SS within the Totenkopf Sturmbann (Battalion of the Skull) from October 1941 to 1945, bound for Auschwitz, at the Birkenau extermination camp. There it participated in the mass murder and the persecution of innocent civilians, mainly of Jews.

On 31 January 2011, the United States ordered the deportation of Kalymon to Germany, Ukraine, Poland, or another country willing to receive him to serve during the war by collaborating with Nazi Germany and his participation in acts of violence by persecution. It has not yet found a country that wants to receive and judge it, so it remains in the United States.

7- Soeren Kam (Germany)

Volunteer of the SS-Viking Division, where he served as an officer, and participated in the murder of Carl Henrik Clemmensen, editor of an anti-Nazi newspaper. He obtained German nationality in 1956.

In 1999 Denmark requested the extradition of Kam, which Germany denied because of its German citizenship. At a later request for extradition, Germany justified its rejection in early 2007 on the grounds that Clemmensen's death was not a murder but a homicide. Efforts continue to bring Kam to justice, either in Germany or in Denmark.

8- Algimantas Dailide (Germany)

Nazi officer in Lithuania, was responsible for arresting Jews and Poles in the Vilna ghetto, people who were later summarily executed. After the war, Dailide sought refuge in the United States, where she appeared as a forestry engineer. He worked for decades until he retired in Gulfport, Florida.

In 1997, his past was discovered and his citizenship was revoked. His deportation to Lithuania was delayed until 2004, where a court convicted him of the crimes mentioned above. However, he never got to prison "because he was very old and did not pose any danger to society." At present, he is 91 years old.

9- Mikhail Gorshkow (Estonia)

Interpreter of the Gestapo in Minsk, he is considered to have been involved in the murder of about 3,000 men, women and children in the Slutsk ghetto. His case is paralleled by that of Algimantas Dailide. He fled to the United States where he acquired citizenship, until in 2002, the state of Florida discovers his lies. Gorshkow then returns to Estonia.

On the basis of evidence provided by the US Department of Justice in 2003, the Estonian Prosecutor's Office opened an investigation into Gorshkow's alleged involvement in war crimes. The investigation was closed in October 2011 for lack of conclusive evidence. Prosecutors argued that there was a possibility that more than one person with the surname Gorshkow would collaborate with the Nazis. When in doubt, he was released, and now he is 89 years old.

10- Theodor Szehinskyj (United States)

He was a member of the SS death battalion in the concentration camps of Gross Rosen (Poland), Sachsenhausen (Germany) and Warsaw (Poland) in which he actively participated in the persecution and mistreatment of prisoners.
