the government's efforts to
seek out, prosecute and de-
port Nazi war criminals liv-
ing in America is Allan
Ryan Jr. He will replace
Walter Rockier, who leaves
the directorship on March
31 to resume his private law
practice. (From March
1979 May 1979 Martin
Mendelsohn was director.)
Asked what motivated
him to accept this awesome
responsibility, Ryan said
that his involvement in the
Feodor Dedorenko case
piqued his interest in Nazi
war criminals.
As an assistant to the
U.S. Solicitor General in
1978, he wrote the brief
and argued the appeal in
the government's case
against Fedorenko, an
admitted SS guard at
Treblinka concentration
camp.

the government on July 25,
1978. This decision was re-
versed by the U.S. Court of
Appeals on June 28, 1979
and the trial judge was or-
dered to strip Fedorenko of
citizenship.
The defendant filed a mo-
tion for a re-hearing to the
Appellate Court, which was
denied on Aug. 13, 1979. On
Feb. 19, 1980, the defen-
dant's petition for certiorari
(judicial review) was
granted by the U.S. Sup-
reme Court.
Ryan, a 34-year-old
magna cum laude graduate
of the University of Min-
nesota Law School, where
he was president of the Law
Review, is serious and con-
fident about the OSI's fu-
ture accomplishments.
In addition to his 1977-
1980 position in the Sol-
icitor General's office, his
legal experience includes
a clerkship for Supreme
Court Justice Byron
White and service as an
attorney in the U.S.
Marine Corps.
"After having been
through Yad Vashem (the
Holocaust memorial in
Jerusalem) I have no doubt
that what I'm doing must be
done. There are people still
alive who took part in the
Nazi process of inhumanity
and some of them are in this
country." He said he feels
"obligated to do everything
humanly possible under the
law to bring them into ac-
count."
"Ideally the goal of the
OSI should be to locate
every Nazi war criminal
and collaborator in the
United States, denaturalize
them if they are citizens,
and deport them all," he.
continued.
The OSI now has some
400 files and is "opening
cases literally every
day," Ryan said. This
total includes the 250
cases that the unit "inher-
ited" from the Justice
Department's Special
Litigation Unit (SLU).
Judging from the U.S.
'goverment's past accom-
plishments regarding Nazi
war criminals, will Ryan
ever achieve even one de-
portation? Since the SLU
was created by the Justice
Department in 1977, what
has actually been accom-
plished?
According to records, only
four new cases have been
announced since then, in
November and December
1979, bringing the total of
cases under litigation to 16
at this writing.
(The other 12 cases were
started before the initiation
of the SLU, by a Task Force
set up in 1974 and based in
New York City. The SLU
since its initiation, did not
begin any new cases.)
The bottom line is: The
United States, after more
than 30 years, has not de-
ported a Nazi war crimi-
nal for his crimes back to
the country where the
crimes were committed.
Several years ago, how-
Hermine
ever,
Braunsteiner Ryan, a
Queens housewife and
former concentration camp
supervisor, was extradited
to West Germany to stand
trial.
