Wanted Nazi war criminals: Harry Mannil, Karoly Zentai, Allgimantas Dailide, Milivoj Asner

Evil: Sandor Kepiro, Aribert Heim, Alois Brunner,John Demjanjuk

Dr Efraim Zuroff, Israel's top Nazi hunter, is in charge of Operation Last Chance, which aims to chase the killers out of hiding.

The operation is organised by Jerusalem's Simon Wiesenthal Centre, named after the late Holocaust survivor turned anti-Nazi sleuth.

Dr Zuroff's team will fly to Europe and South America next week to track down Nazis in hiding or being sheltered by governments.

They offer up to £7,500 in cash for informants who provide clues to the men's whereabouts.

The most wanted is Alois Brunner, 95, who is said to live in Syria.

Hunter: Simon Wiesenthal died two years ago but he was a Nazi hunter who lived in Jerusalem after nearly being killed in an Austrian death camp - the centre leading the operation is named after him

The right-hand-man of Holocaust organiser Adolf Eichmann, he invented the mobile gas vans used to kill tens of thousands of Jews.

Number two on the list is Dr Aribert Heim, 93, the former doctor of the Mauthausen camp in Austria. Known as Dr Death, Heim injected prisoners with lethal drugs and carried out operations without anaesthetic "because he was bored".

It is thought he is in Chile.

Third is John Demjanjuk, 87, a camp guard suspected of pushing tens of thousands of Jews into gas chambers at Treblinka. He is wanted by Ukraine but is fighting extradition from the U.S..

Fourth is Milivoj Asner, 94, the former Nazi police chief of Croatia, responsible for the slaughter of Jews, gipsies and resistance fighters.

He lives in Austria but is wanted by Croatia for war crimes.

Closing the net: Holocaust historian and Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff is on the trail of the eight Nazis

Fifth is Sandor Kepiro, 93, a Hungarian Nazi police executive who massacred civilians in Yugoslavia and helped round up 400,000 Hungarian Jews sent to die in Auschwitz in 1944.

Serbia wants him deported from Budapest.

Sixth is Karoly Zentai, 85, another official in Hungary who organised the round-up of the Jews.

He lives in Australia and is fighting extradition to Hungary.

Seventh is Allgimantas Dailide, 86, a Lithuanian Nazi responsible for rounding up Jews before they were shipped off for extermination.

He lives in Germany.

Eighth is Harry Mannil, 87, an Estonian thought to be in hiding in Venezuela.

He is wanted for personally murdering 100 Jews and rounding up thousands of others.

Dr Zuroff acknowledged there are hundreds more Nazis hiding across the world. But he said: "We want the biggest fish caught first. And we want to let them know we will never stop hunting them."
