New book sheds light on the post-war hunt for Nazi war criminals in Czechoslovakia

After the end of the Second World War it was often very difficult to catch
and bring Nazi war criminals and their collaborators to justice. Historian
Vojtěch Kyncl from the Czech Academy of Sciences has written a new book
called Beasts: Czechoslovakia and the Persecution of Nazi Criminals, which
explores the Czechoslovak side of this endeavour. I began by asking him
when the allies, including Czechoslovakia, first committed to bringing Nazi
war criminals to justice.
