Top 10 most wanted Nazi war crime suspects

Following John Demjanjuk's deportation to Germany to face charges of assisting in the death of at least 29,000 Jews at the Sobibor death camp during World War II, the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Centre published a list of the most-wanted Nazi war crime suspects and their alleged crimes

1) Alois Brunner: Austrian-born henchman of Adolf Eichmann, Mr Brunner was accused of being responsible for sending over 100,000 Jews to death camps. Born in 1912, the SWC said the chances of his being alive are "relatively slim" but "until conclusive evidence of his demise is obtained, he should still be mentioned on any Most Wanted List of Holocaust perpetrators".

2) Aribert Heim: So-called Doctor Death and "Butcher of Mauthausen", he was accused of performing operations without anaesthetics and injecting petrol directly into victims' hearts. German public television channel ZDF and the New York Times reported in February that he died of bowel cancer in 1992, citing his son and acquaintances in Cairo but nobody has been found.

3) John Demjanjuk: Born in Ukraine and living in the US since 1952 but stripped of US citizenship, Mr Demjanjuk is charged by a German court of assisting in the death of at least 29,000 Jews at the Sobibor death camp. He arrived in Germany yesterday.

4) Sandor Kepiro: Hungarian gendarmerie officer who is accused of participating in the mass murder of over 1,200 civilians in Novi Sad, Serbia.

5) Milivoj Asner: A police chief in Croatia, he played an "active role in persecution and deportation to death of hundreds of Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies," according to the SWC.

6) Soeren Kam: Accused of participating in the murder of anti-Nazi Danish newspaper editor Carl Henrik Clemmensen. Also alleged to have stolen the population registry of the Danish Jewish community to facilitate the roundup and subsequent deportation of Danish Jews to Nazi concentration camps, where dozens were murdered.

7) Klaas Carl Faber: Sentenced to death in 1944 in The Netherlands for murdering prisoners in the Westerbork transit camp, his sentence was commuted to a life imprisonment in 1948 and he later escaped from prison and fled to Germany in 1952.

8) Heinrich Boere: Allegedly murdered three Dutch civilians as a member of the Silbertanne Waffen-SS death squad.

9) Karoly (Charles) Zentai: Accused of participating in the murder of Jews in Budapest in 1944.

10) Mikhail Gorshkow: Accused of participating in the murder of Jews in Belarus.
