Fifty-six years after a deadly arson attack killed seven Holocaust survivors, Munich prosecutors believe they’ve finally cracked the case — identifying a 25-year-old neo-Nazi with a history of antisemitic extremism as the culprit. Though he died in 2020, new testimony from a relative who heard him confess his intent to “set them on fire” reignited the investigation, which had been closed in 2017. The suspect, Bernd V., was obsessed with Hitler, had a juvenile record for bombing phone booths, and allegedly wielded a Hitler Youth dagger. Authorities now say no one else was involved — but the delay in justice underscores a historic failure by law enforcement, despite evidence pointing squarely to him.
