Attorney General Michael Mukasey Announces Donation By U.S. Department of Justice ot Copies of Proceedings Against Alleged Nazi War Criminals Living in the U.S. to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
United States Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey announced that the U.S. Department of Justice is donating copies of trial transcripts and decisions created in connection with the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) of the Justice Department to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. These records were created over the past three decades in connection with OSI’s litigation against United States citizens or residents who were alleged to have participated in acts of persecution in collaboration with the Nazis or their allies.

With the exception of records created immediately after the war, this collection will constitute the largest body of English-language, primary source material relating to the persecution of Nazi criminals publicly available anywhere in the world. The Museum has assisted OSI by granting access to key documentation that the Museum has microfilmed in archives in Germany, Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union; by providing expert historian witness testimony in prosecutions initiated and tried by OSI; and in other ways.
The donation consists of well over 50,000 pages of transcripts of the more than 40 World War II-related denaturalization and removal cases that OSI litigated to trial as well as the transcripts of hearings in three contested extradition matters in which the OSI participated. The Justice Department is also donating copies of decisions, published and unpublished, that have been rendered in OSI’s denaturalization, removal and extradition cases. The decisions are bound in a multivolume set created for this purpose and donated by Thomson Reuters/West Publishing.
