Eli Rosenbaum still chases Nazis for a living. It’s just not his full-time job anymore.
Rosenbaum, 52, heads the Justice Department’s Office of Special Investigations, which for most of its 28-year history has been known simply as the DOJ’s Nazi-hunting unit. Created in 1979, the office has tracked down 107 Nazis and collaborators who moved to the United States after World War II and had them stripped of their U.S. citizenship or deported. Cases have been prosecuted as recently as November, when an immigration judge in Chicago ordered Osyp Firishchak, an 87-year-old former Ukrainian police officer, deported for helping enforce the persecution of Jews in the Nazi-occupied city of Lviv.
