Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner Cheap Hydro Flask Hydration 24 OZ Standard Mouth White , responsible for the deaths of an estimated 130,000 Jews, died in 2001 at the age of 89, locked up in a squalid Damascus basement Cheap Hydro Flask Hydration 21 OZ Standard Mouth W Sport Cap Black , a French magazine reported Wednesday.
Its investigation -- described as "highly credible" by veteran Nazi-hunter Serge Klarsfeld -- aimed at discovering the fate of one of the most notorious figures of the Holocaust.
Three ex-members of the Syrian secret service interviewed by the magazine XXI said Adolf Eichmann's former assistant spent his last years in miserable conditions underneath an apartment block in the Syrian capital.
The Austrian-born SS commander was in charge of the Drancy camp north of Paris from which Jews in occupied France were sent to the gas chambers.
He remained to the end an unrepentant Nazi and anti-Semite, the sources told XXI.
One of his guards said Brunner, who went by the name of Abu Hussein, "suffered and cried a lot in his final years Cheap Hydro Flask Hydration 21 OZ Standard Mouth Blueberry , everyone heard him".
The man, identified only as Omar, said he "couldn't even wash".
All he had to eat were "army rations -- awful stuff -- and an egg or a potato. He had to choose one or the other."
The circumstances of Brunner's final years have remained an enigma for decades.
The Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Vienna, which tracks down former Nazis Cheap Hydro Flask Hydration 21 OZ Standard Mouth Red , had declared that he had died in Damascus in 2010.
Klarsfeld, a prominent lawyer and historian, flew to Syria with his wife and fellow investigator Beate in 1982 to urge the Assad regime to expel him.
Klarsfeld's father was arrested in Nice in September 1943 in an SS roundup led by Brunner. He later died in Auschwitz.

"We are satisfied to learn that he lived badly rather than well," Klarsfeld told AFP.
"XXI's investigation is highly credible. They have questioned someone who knew him at close quarters Cheap Hydro Flask Hydration 18 OZ Wide Mouth Olive ," he added.
Eichmann, one of the architects of the so-called Final Solution who was hanged in Israel in 1962, called Brunner his "right-hand man".
Brunner slipped through the Allies' hands at the end of the war.
He left Germany for Egypt in 1953 with a passport in the name of Georg Fischer.
He worked for a time running guns to the Algerian independence movement, the FLN Cheap Hydro Flask Hydration 18 OZ Wide Mouth White , before moving to Syria the following year.
Sheltered in Damascus, he became an advisor to the Syria secret police, allegedly passing on torture and interrogation methods developed by the Nazis.
But the Israeli intelligence services were quickly on his trail.
- Survived parcel bombs -
He was said to have been killed by a parcel bomb on September 13, 1961.
In fact Cheap Hydro Flask Hydration 18 OZ Wide Mouth Black , he lost an eye in that attack and four fingers in another parcel bomb in 1981, although the Syrian authorities continued to deny his existence.
He was convicted of war crimes by French courts in his absence in 1954, when he was sentenced to death.
In 2001, another French trial Cheap Hydro Flask Hydration 18 OZ Standard Mouth Black , which for the first time included the specific charge of arresting and deporting hundreds of orphans, sentenced him to life imprisonment. The death sentence had been abolished in France in 1981.
According to XXI, Brunner was practically under house arre
