The Odessa File

Peter Miller was a freelance reporter in Hamburg, West Germany, on the day of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas, 1963. He was stopped at a traffic signal as an ambulance passed by on a highway. The ambulance was en route to pick up the body of an elderly Jewish Holocaust survivor who had committed suicide, leaving behind no family. The diary of the man contains information on his life in the Riga Ghetto during WW II, including the name of the SS officer who ran the camp, Eduard Roschmann. Miller goes undercover and infiltrates the ODESSA, a secret organisation for former SS members.
