I'm Jewish, not 100% on this but I think that has some basis in Jewish theology/religious teachings. IE not touching evil things, dead bodies, idols, etc. Don't know if that's what motivated the agents but maybe.

As an Israeli (a 4th generation of a holocaust survivor, and a long fan of the channel) who knows very well about The Holocaust the the man who "hunted" him and the trial. I am sincerely thanking you all (the weird history KZread channel and community) for doing and being interested in this video and subject. I will tell everybody I know to like the video and as a show of thank here is some facts of the "hunt" and trial: 1. When the Mosad agents put him in the car and investigated him, he said "I knew one day you will catch me" in germen (I may be wrong about the language) 2. when he was arrested and impressed he was surprisingly calm talkative and even friendly! that in an interview at list two guards said: he was so calm and talkative to us that although we tried to remind ourselves of the thing he had done we started as seeing him as less of a monster and more of a person." (NOT the actual testimony but my best try to translate it from Hebrew) but it is widely believed that he acted like this for the trial because of all the horrible things he bragged about (as you summarized pretty well) and because of when he was about to hang he shouted "long live Germany! long live Austria! long live Argentine! I will never forget you!" (it is not exactly what he said because I translated it from an summery of the event in Hebrew by me which probably translated it from Germen) by the way it is quit funny to hear you and practically anybody who doesn't know Hebrew try to pronounce Jewish names. by the way for some people (not anyone who I noticed comments) for what I know Hebrew isn't at all related to bear or brewing the real name of the language is Ivrit the (first i is pronounced E like the name of the letter)
