Yakov Liebermann is a Nazi hunter (loosely based on Simon
Wiesenthal): he runs a center in Vienna that documents crimes
against humanity, perpetrated during the Holocaust. The waning
interest of the Weste nations in tracking down Nazi criminals has
forced him to move the center to his lodgings.
Then, in September 1974, Liebermann receives a phone call from a
young man in Brazil who claims he has just finished eavesdropping
on the so-called "Angel of Death," Dr. Josef Mengele, the
concentration camp medical doctor who performed horrific
experiments on camp victims during World War II. According to the
young man, Mengele is activating the Kameradenwerk for a strange
assignment: he is sending out six Nazis (former SS Officers) to
kill 94 men, who share a few common traits. All men are civil
servants, and all of them have to be killed on or about particular
dates, spread over several years. All will be 65 years old at the
time of their killing. Before the young man can finish the
conversation, he is killed.
