...Final Night with George W. Bush, is one Administration - and what seems a whole political era - out of date. Dan Gordon's Irena's Vow, starring Tovah Feldshuh as a Polish-Catholic woman who saves a dozen Jews from the Nazis by hiding them in the cellar of the SS officer's house where she works as a housekeeper, seems just as old hat: an earnest but clumsily staged Holocaust melodrama of the sort we've seen many times before, and usually better...
...native Ukrainian, John (né Ivan) Demjanjuk has said he was conscripted into the Red Army in 1940 and captured by the Nazis in 1942. The following three years are up for debate. Prosecutors say he volunteered for the German SS and was trained as a camp guard. Substantial evidence places Demjanjuk at Nazi camps...

Eichmann was kidnapped by a group of undercover agents from Israel's Mossad intelligence service in 1960, then tried in Jerusalem and executed. Mengele lived undisturbed in South America...
