Washington - The US Justice Department Tuesday formally transferred 50,000 pages of documents about Nazi war criminal prosecutions to Holocaust museums in Washington and Israel. The records are from from the more than 100 cases it has brought against Nazi war criminals who covered up their pasts when they entered the United States. When US justice officials won their cases, the war criminals were stripped of citizenship, extradited or removed from the US. The documents are being donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. "With the exception of records from the immediate postwar Allied prosecutions in Europe, this collection is the largest body of English-language primary source materials relating to the prosecution of Nazi criminals publicly available anywhere in the world," said US Attorney General Michael Mukasey.
