BERLIN, May 2 (UPI) -- The World War II Nazi physician called "Dr. Death" tops the list of most wanted Holocaust criminals thought to be still at large and still alive, hunters said.

Dr. Aribert Heim, accused of killing hundreds of inmates of Mauthausen Concentration camp by lethal injection, is the new No.1, according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

Heim has replaced Alois Brunner at the head of the list of most wanted Nazis, Deutsche Welle said,

Brunner, an aide to Adolf Eichmann, was accused of deporting over 100,000 Jews to Nazi death camps from Austria, Greece, France and Slovakia. But, the center says it is not likely he is still alive.
