At least 10 suspected Nazi war criminals ordered deported by the
United States never left the country, according to an Associated Press
review of Justice Department data – and four are living in the U.S.
today. All remained eligible for public benefits such as Social Security
until they exhausted appeals, and in one case even beyond.
Quiet American legal limbo was the fate of all 10 men uncovered in
the AP review. The reason: While the U.S. wanted them out, no other
country was willing to take them in.
That’s currently the case of Vladas Zajanckauskas in Sutton,
Massachusetts. It’s the case of Theodor Szehinskyj in West Chester,
Pennsylvania. Of Jakiw Palij in New York City. And of John Kalymon in
Troy, Michigan.
All have been in the same areas for years, stripped of
citizenship and ordered deported, yet able to carry out their lives in
familiar surroundings. Dozens of other Nazi war crimes suspects in the
U.S. were also entitled to Social Security and other public benefits for
years as they fought deportation.
