At the end of World War 2, the commander of Belsen Concentration Camp fled across Europe and to America, always fearful of a lone camp inmate who threatened to find Reissman and make him pay for the atrocities that occurred in the camp during the war.

Script credit from "Tales of Terror!" by Fred von Bernewitz and Grant Geissman.

Marie Severin stated in a 1986 interview that Krigstein colored this story: http://www.tcj.com/an-interview-with-marie-severin/

This story was originally a 6-page one, but Krigstein felt that length was inadequate and wanted to expand it to 12 pages. Bill Gaines said no to that, but he eventually agreed (with Feldstein) on 8 pages. Krigstein was paid $43 per page for this story.

Some of the story told in flashback.
