Four countries - Germany, France, Austria and Greece - demanded his extradition. France convicted Mr. Brunner in absentia in 1954 of crimes against humanity and condemned him to death for his role in deporting 120,000 Jews to death camps during World War II. Brunner reportedly died in Syria in 1992.This documentary includes an exclusive interview with Gunther Deshner, the last journalist to have questioned Brunner at his home in Damascus.
