The following year he was appointed an interrogation officer in the Danzig jail. From 1946 to 1952 he worked for Haganah Wien in Austria, as Director of Staff of the Documentation Center in Vienna, where he and his colleagues hunted down numerous Nazis.[3] Afterwards, in Israel, he played a role in the capture of Adolf Eichmann.[2]
