Blum,H. Wanted: The Search for Nazis in America. 1977
Blum, Howard. Wanted: The Search for Nazis in America. Greenwich CT:
Fawcett Books, 1977. 285 pages.
In 1972 Anthony Devito, an investigator with the Immigration and
Naturalization Service, was assigned to the Hermine Braunsteiner Ryan case.
These were the days when the INS still handled Nazi war criminals, before
jurisdiction shifted to the Justice Department's Office of Special
Investigations in 1979. Devito became convinced that all the problems he
encountered -- disappearing files, office break-ins, denied travel vouchers,
threatening phone calls to witnesses he had interviewed -- were evidence of
Odessa penetration of INS. A Jewish organization gave him a list of 59 other
Nazis living in the U.S., but Devito was unable to interest his bosses.
Devito resigned in 1973 and went public, and this bestseller was the
result. It is written more like a thriller than a sober investigation
(there are no footnotes and this edition lacks an index), but Howard Blum's
reporting is solid and thorough, and he popularized the issue as few others
have done. Portions of this book appeared in Esquire, and it was widely
noticed by both reviewers and book clubs. Reprints by other publishers can
still be found on bookstore shelves.
