Other Nazis that were involved in the genocide, such as [[Hermann Göring]] and [[Heinrich Himmler]], committed suicide before they even got to trial; others such as [[Amon Göth]] were captured and put into Soviet labor camps or were executed. Still others, such as [[Adolf Eichmann]], [[Franz Stangl]], and [[Klaus Barbie]], remained on the lam for decades before being captured.
