  • The Survivor's Hunt for Nazi Fugitives in Brazil: The
    THE SURVIVOR’S HUNT FOR NAZI FUGITIVES IN BRAZIL: THE CASES OF FRANZ STANGL AND GUSTAV WAGNER IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE by Kyle Leland McLain A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2016 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Heather Perry ______________________________ Dr. Jürgen Buchenau ______________________________ Dr. John Cox ii ©2016 Kyle Leland McLain ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT KYLE LELAND MCLAIN. The survivor’s hunt for Nazi fugitives in Brazil: the cases of Franz Stangl and Gustav Wagner in the context of international justice (Under the direction of DR. HEATHER PERRY) On April 23, 1978, Brazilian authorities arrested Gustav Wagner, a former Nazi internationally wanted for his crimes committed during the Holocaust. Despite a confirming witness and petitions from West Germany, Israel, Poland and Austria, the Brazilian Supreme Court blocked Wagner’s extradition and released him in 1979. Earlier in 1967, Brazil extradited Wagner’s former commanding officer, Franz Stangl, who stood trial in West Germany, was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. These two particular cases present a paradox in the international hunt to bring Nazi war criminals to justice. They both had almost identical experiences during the war and their escape, yet opposite outcomes once arrested. Trials against war criminals, particularly in West Germany, yielded some successes, but many resulted in acquittals or light sentences. Some Jewish survivors sought extrajudicial means to see that Holocaust perpetrators received their due justice. Some resorted to violence, such as vigilante justice carried out by “Jewish vengeance squads.” In other cases, private survivor and Jewish organizations collaborated to acquire information, lobby diplomatic representatives and draw public attention to the fact that many Nazi war criminals were still at large.

Etnografia de um Evento. Orientador: Prof. Dr. Omar Ribeiro Thomaz Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada ao Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas para obtenção do Título de Mestre em Antropologia Social. Este exemplar corresponde à versão final da dissertação defendida pelo aluno David Creimer Reichhardt e orientada pelo prof. Dr. Omar Ribeiro Thomaz, no dia 29/06/2015. Campinas 2015 iii iv v vi Resumo O assassinato do jornalista Vladimir Herzog em outubro de 1975 gerou uma onda de protestos e acontecimentos que tornou o caso um símbolo na luta pelo fim da repressão política no Brasil. O cerco dos militares aos jornalistas culminou neste assassinato e ganhou destaque nos jornais. O caso levou milhares de pessoas às ruas, mas em silêncio. Herzog tinha origem judaica, e seu corpo deveria passar pelo complexo ritual judaico de sepultamento. Porém, o suicídio, versão dada pelos militares como causa da morte, é tido como um dos piores crimes no judaísmo e seu sepultamento tem um ritual particular. É objetivo desta pesquisa etnografar os eventos que cercaram estes episódios, buscando se aproximar da influência da política nos rituais religiosos, e do impacto do caso em uma comunidade traumatizada por perseguições. As opiniões sobre a postura do Rabino Henry Sobel, que optou por enfrentar o regime ao seguir o sepultamento judaico “comum”, não eram uníssonas.
