Alois Brunner

Austrian Nazi (1912–2001 or 2010)

Alois Brunner (8 April 1912 – December 2001 or 2010) was an Austrian officer who held the rank of SS-Hauptsturmführer (captain) during World War II. Brunner played a significant role in the implementation of the Holocaust through rounding up and deporting Jews in occupied Austria, Greece, France, and Slovakia. He was known as Final Solution architect Adolf Eichmann's right-hand man.

Brunner was responsible for sending over 100,000 European Jews from Austria, Greece, France and Slovakia to ghettos and concentration camps in eastern Europe. At the start of the war, he oversaw the deportation of 47,000 Austrian Jews to camps. In Greece, 43,000 Jews were deported in two months while he was stationed in Thessaloniki. He then became commander of the Drancy internment camp outside Paris from June 1943 to August 1944, during which nearly 24,000 men, women and children were sent to the gas chambers. His last assignment involved the destruction of the Jewish community of Slovakia.

Nazi Alois Brunner 'died in Syrian cell'

Brunner, who was found responsible for the deaths of an estimated 130,000 Jews during World War Two, lived his last days locked up in a Syrian jail cell, the quarterly magazine Revue XXI reported on Wednesday.

The revelations by two of the magazine's journalists contradict previous reports that he had died in 2010, instead suggesting his passing had happened nine years earlier, at the age of 89.

Brunner, who was leading Holocaust architect Adolf Eichmann's right-hand man, was in charge of the Drancy camp north of Paris during World War Two, from which Jews in occupied France were sent to death camps in Germany and Poland.

Tried in absentia in France in 1954, Brunner was sentenced to death for crimes against humanity.

After the war, he fled to North Africa and then Syria where he lived under government protection, according to leading Nazi hunters.
