Depends, do I get money for harboring him? Do I get paragon or renegade points for turning him in?
Other: The risk to myself for concealing the person is not large enough to offset the reward of helping a human in need.
If he wasn't a nazi in the past life and it was some other lesser crime I would hide him. I can forgive him and wish him luck on his escape, but not actively contribute to his escape.

Other.
Specifically: No, because there'd be no point.
If the police are already after him, it's too late. The legal system will imprison him, but nothing harsher.
I might not go out of my way to turn him in, but I'm not going to risk myself over him either.

Lets make this more interesting by changing the neighbour into your great grandfather or grandfather.
If he is sorry and repentant and all that, then he should turn himself in. And what happens to him should be up to a jury to decide. Preferably the Haag.
I am not harboring a war criminal. This is not about wanting vengeance, it is about following the law.
What if this guy, rather than a Nazi War Criminal...what if he was a serial rapist and killer. In this 20s he raped and murdered 50 young women. Then he felt really bad and turned his life around. Would I say, "Oh, okay, I'll help hide you from the law because you feel badly about what you've done?" No! I'd take him to the police.

1) Put into the system to help those the Salvation Army says in its mission statement its bound to help (i.e. the needy, but thats a general term and encompasses a lot of people).HG131 said:
2) Spent it on himself. he had a lot of it in a few bank accounts, and was indulging in caligula like fantasies of wealth and spoilment.
Would depend on the person I suppose, though I dont need to stop someone by killing them. I may break him, but I wouldnt need to kill him.this isnt my name said:
However, put in the situation, and with no prior knowledge, I dont act. I dont know if I'ms aving the next Ghandi or the next Hitler, and I'll bare it on my conscious and in the courts that I didnt help. Its not my place to if I have to kill one person to do it.
And its all well and good to say that we were just and saying we were saving lives, but the US couldnt give two shits about the camps until they actually started stumbling on them. We were in the European Theatre cause Japan pulled us in the Pacific Theatre, and we had already been supplying Britain with guns and supplies to help our allies (all in secrecy). If the US had actually been bothered to save mopre lives, we would have jumped in sooner, instead of sitting behind our isolationist beliefs.
It's easy to say a lot of things without being in the situation, but it can't be proven whether I would have the capacity to end my own life or not. As for killing the other Nazi's that might share my views that's a chance I would be willing to take, either they are there and actually want to do it, or they need a way out. Everyone has families so that part doesn't concern me one bit. One can't just torture and kill an entire race and chalk it up to, well my job sucks but it puts bread on the table, besides if I didn't do it I wouldn't have to worry about my wife killing me from getting home late, Hitler would kill me for slacking off on the job.this isnt my name said:
I'd turn him in. If he's truly repentant, then he'll accept that he needs to pay for what he did, and thus won't object to the police taking him into custody. I would defend him as a person now, and help lead a call for perhaps some degree of leniency based on his (apparent) repentance, but I would certainly give him up to the police, either way. But bear in mind, I agree with HG131, and the 9th Doctor. If someone said that to me then I'd lose all respect for them instantly.
Phew! what a tough question!
I would dismiss the police at this instance but not shelter him too much, I wouldn't wanna become an accessory. If he were caught later I would be seen to be a nazi too which being white and blonde I don't want!
That said I think that a court case this long after the fact would be horrid and useless. During the case victims would be brought before the jury and forced to relive their past, he would be forced to remember what he went through and so on. After all this time nothing good would come of it. If he were unrepentant I would show no mercy however. Animals that are harmful should be destroyed.

I'm honestly conflicted here. Part of me wants to see justice served and part of me believes in redemption. If the guy honestly is doing right now and sees he is wrong hasn't he served his punishment? Isn't justice about setting things right not extracting revenge? Oh so conflicted...
Would I harbor a former, apparently reformed nazi or SS member to prevent them from being lynched?
Would I help them run from answering for the crimes that they cannot run from? No. They need to own up to and face judgement for what they did- mob mentality and killing them or giving them to the Israelis or something would be counterintuitive. Man still deserves a fair trial.
