World War II has ended 63 years back and all the old Nazis who killed people across Europe are now dead or far too old to be tried and extradited. Even the traditional Nazi hunters like Simon Wiesenthal have become old so forget the average Nazi who would be born sometime in the 1890s and early 1900s.
People are far more interested in Al Qaeda. Throughout the ages, we have had Idi Amin, Pol Pot and Slobodan Milosevic as the worst killers that mankind has seen. They have all been forgotten.
Also, I feel people would not even be remotely interested in something like Auschwitz or Dachau since we have the media examples of Godhra before us. Indians have no sense of history and would think of Auschwitz as a new German car brand rather than the concentration camp that it was. Also, our modern politicians are far worse than Nazis who at least tried to build an efficient and prosperous Germany.
I am therefore surprised that such news news even made headlines on rediff and I was incredulous that an old Nazi was living in Goa with an 18th century piano. I would have liked to have actually met such a person but I knew that it would not be true. Anyway, Sieg Heil!
