Synopsis
In 1942, five police officers of the German City of Hamburg were commandeered to transfer to the Gestapo (German secret police) for a special assignment. In the course of that assignment, these officers became responsible for the incarceration of thousands of Jews and half-Jews to concentration camps. Their temporary tenure with that infamous organization lasted almost one year. After the war and the Hitler era ended with the defeat of Germany, these officers, four men and one woman, immigrated to the United States in 1949 by omitting their Gestapo assignment from their visa application. In 1949, the female officer was found murdered in an alley behind a high-rise building, which was the subject of the book, LILO - A Murder in New York. This new book describes the murder of two of the male officers two years later, the investigation by two New York detectives, and the arrest and trial of those responsible.
