The author of The Nazis Next Door, Eric Lichtblau is a Jewish American journalist who has reported for big companies like The New York Times and CNN. When working for The New York Times, he was a reporter for fifteen years. He covered subjects like The Justice Department, police, and terrorism. But just recently he switched off to be an editor for CNN. Lichtblau is also the author of Bush’s Law: The Remaking of American Justice. Lichtblau and his New York Times co worker, James Risen won a Pulitzer Prize in 2006 for his book. The Nazis Next Door specifically argues that close to the end of World War II, the United States enlisted German scientist (few who played a major role in Hitler’s genocide) to destroy their new enemy, communism in Operation

After being ‘liberated’ by the Allies, the survivors continued to be imprisoned for months in the camps. Because of the remaining antisemitism, holocaust survivors were denied visas into the United States but Nazis were allowed to enter as war refugees. Many of the survivors did not leave the camps, some died from diseases or malnourished because of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s refusal to let them leave. Policy Makers in Washington didn’t believe that holocaust survivors should be let into the United States because they were “Lazy People”.

I was very blindsided on what occurred to those who participated in the War Crimes and Holocaust survivors after World War II. The Nazis Next Door really cleared up the confusion and taught me about the Nazi’s contribution during the Cold
