Dr Efraim Zuroff opened the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Israel Office 39 years ago. He was the Center’s chief Nazi-hunter, and director of its Israel Office and Eastern European Affairs.

Dr. Zuroff discovered the escape destinations of more than 3,000 suspected Nazi war criminals all over the world, and facilitated the exposure and prosecution of dozens of them. He is the author of four books (translated into 15 languages) and more than 500 articles on Nazi-hunting, Holocaust history, and contemporary Jewish life and identity. Zuroff is one of the leading spokespersons in the world on Holocaust-related issues and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2008.

As this year’s Yom HaShoah commemorations draw to close, we’ll be looking back at the life and career of this extraordinary historian, activist and pursuer of justice for the Jewish people.
