| The Odessa File is a thriller novel by Frederick Forsyth, first published in 1972, about a struggle between a young German reporter and the ODESSA, an organization for ex-Nazis. A movie adaptation of the same name was released in 1974 starring Jon Voight and directed by Ronald Neame. The plot begins on November 22, 1963, the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated. A young German reporter happens to see an ambulance on a highway. He chases the ambulance and discovers it contains an elderly Jewish Holocaust-survivor who had committed suicide. The reporter obtains the diary of the man, which contains information on his life in the World War II camps, and the names of members of the SS who ran the camp. He makes up his mind to hunt a Nazi who is mentioned in the diary. Not just for a sensational cover story, but for a more serious personal reason. Real-life investigator of Nazi war criminals Simon Wiesenthal makes a brief appearance as a character in the story.
