dbo:abstract
  • Lucian Ludwig Kozminski was a Polish-born American who was convicted in 1982 of swindling some 3,000 of his fellow Holocaust survivors. He was a survivor at Auschwitz concentration camp and a Jewish Oberkapo, an SS-appointed enforcer within the German death and Nazi concentration camps during World War II. He was prosecuted by Mark E. Kalmansohn, a Jewish-American of Lithuanian lineage, who served as a federal prosecutor from 1977 to 1983. Years after Kozminski's initial federal convictions, and still vowing rightful justice for the Holocaust survivors twice-victimized by Kozminski, Kalmansohn independently undertook a lengthy investigation and two (pro bono) civil actions to make Kozminski pay for his crimes against humanity. The majority of Kozminski's victims were elderly and many were nearly impoverished. Kozminski appears to have died in 1993, however, his death certificate has since been ruled by a court as fraudulent and authorities believe he may have faked his death to avoid paying his settlement from Kalmansohn's civil suit.
