Herbert Cukurs is an officer in the Latvian Air Force and his country's most celebrated pilot. But after the Nazi invasion, he earns the nickname The Hangman of Riga after joining forces with the fascists, and is responsible for the extermination of 30,000 Latvian Jews. Twenty years later, Cukurs is living quietly in Sao Paolo, Brazil. That is, until the Nazi-hunting unit of the Israeli secret service tracks him down. Will their master plan ensnare the greedy

Another Nazi war criminal living in Sao Paulo? Nuts.
I've always wondered about that -- now I know. When I stumbled into the real world in the late 80s he was still living freely in Spain (and selling books, I think). If ppl actually cared about what happened during the alleged Holycost, if the media were there to do any actual reporting, they wouldov rolled out the aging Nazis for constant interviewing while they lasted instead of hunting them down like pestiferous coyotes.
They treat known mobsters better than that. Heck, Bill Bonanno was co- producer of major TV movies on his life of crime!
