Eli Rosenbaum

Eli Rosenbaum is the longest-serving prosecutor and investigator of Nazi criminals in history, having worked on these cases at the U.S. Department of Justice for more than 20 years. A graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and of the Harvard Law School, he has served since 1994 as Director of the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations (OSI), which investigates and prosecutes WWII-era Nazi criminals. Under Mr. Rosenbaum's leadership, OSI has won major awards from the Anti-Defamation League and Holocaust survivor groups, and it has been called “the most successful government Nazi-hunting organization on earth” (ABC News, 3/25/95). Rosenbaum's published works include Betrayal: The Untold Story of the Kurt Waldheim Investigation and Cover-Up (St. Martin's Press), which was selected for “Notable Books of 1993” by the New York Times Book Review and “Best Books of 1993” by The San Francisco Chronicle.
