Vienna Officials have offered $69,000 rewards for information leading to the arrest of two fugitive Nazi criminals, including a key figure in the planning and execution of the murder of Jews during World War II.
The Justice Ministry posted features photos and physical descriptions of Aribert Heim, a concentration camp doctor, and Alois Brunner, the right-hand man of Adolf Eichmann, the Gestapo officer who organized the extermination of the Jews.
The notice states that individuals – not authorities who would have a duty to prosecute criminal acts – will be paid $69,000 for information enabling Austrian authorities to capture either of the men, both now in their 90s.
Heim practiced medicine in Germany after the war and fled after the government charged him in 1962 with killing hundreds of concentration inmates in Germany and Austria with lethal injections. Brunner is believed to have found refuge in Syria.

INTERESTING…NAZIS ASKING NAZIS TO GIVE UP ONE OF THERE OWN, LIKE THATS GONNA-WORK
What took them so long? Do you think they know they’re dead and this is all fluff to throw aus all a bone?
good morning! lets start looking for surviving members of the inquisition!
Too little too late.
And they “posted photos!” Whooptee do! They don’t even know what he’s looked like for more than fifty years!
Let me get this straight. The people who elected Kurt Waldheim President of Austria after he was barred entry into the United States because he was a Nazi war criminal who was responsible for the deportation/murder of the Jews of Saloniki, and then let him die of old age without prosecution, are offering a reward for two guys that are probably dead? If they didn’t try the guy who they elected president and has been sitting their midst for the last 20 years, why would they try anybody else? Is it only me? Or does someone else find this story problematic.
