The chief Nazi hunter at the Simon Weisenthal Center and also the director of the center's Jerusalem office, Efraim Zuroff, told us that there is "no question" that the story about Jimmy Carter interceding on behalf of a Nazi guard is true and described Carter's actions on behalf of the Nazi as "pathetic." Neal Sher, he said, ran the Justice Department's investigation into Nazis hiding in America and was extremely reliable. Speaking from Jerusalem, Mr. Zuroff told us that 'Carter was never particularly sensitive on Jewish issues" and the news "doesn't surprise" him. He described Carter's approach as "a classic case of misplaced sympathy syndrome." Mr. Zuroff said that Carter "shows an accute lack of understanding for the horrors of the Holocaust" and a "lack of sensitivity toward the fate of the victims of the Holocaust." He finished off our conversation by asking "why would he use his influence to help a Nazi war criminal?" Why indeed.
