‘Nazi-Hunters’ Come to Brazil After Hitler’s Accomplices 03/10/2016 - 09H28 ANNA VIRGINIA BALLOUSSIER SPECIAL ENVOY TO RIO Steinz still “has hope” that he will find some of the people responsible for the Jewish genocide during WWII still living. The Third Reich fell apart 71 years ago, leading Nazis, low to top ranking, to escape to Latin America in mass. That stampede has been compared to the escape of rodents from a sinking ship -the “rat routes”. Delegate Uwe Steinz, 58, still “has hope” that he will find some of the people responsible for the Jewish genocide during World War II still living. After fighting organized crime and prostitution in his country, the German lives off “hunting Nazis”-and believes there is a fistful of them in Brazil. Since 2009, as an employee of the Central Office of the State Justice Administrations for the Investigation of National Socialist Crimes, he has already made 14 trips to the National Archive in Rio. Among five million immigrant registration records, Steinz is searching for the registrations for Germans born between 1916 and 1931. The information of those who fit the profile is sent to the headquarters in Germany, which verifies if the person served the Third Reich. He didn’t come to hunt the “big fish” of the SS, the elite squad of Nazis -older, they are probably no longer with us. His target is the “lower clergy”, such as camp guards and accountants. The most famous one of them, Joseph Mengele, the “Angel of Death”, was a doctor in Auschwitz responsible for prisoner triage (forced labor or gas chamber). He died at age 67, in 1979, when he drowned in Bertioga (on the coast of São Paulo), possibly a victim of cardiac arrest. He was never tried. There are more accounts of older Nazis in Brazil, like Herbert Cukurs (who rented paddleboats in Niterói) and Franz Stangl, employed at a Volkswagen factory in ABC Paulista. Arrested in 1967, Stangl was extradited and was targeted for the death of 900 thousand people. “My conscience is at peace”, he said at the time. www1.folha.uol.com.br The only sentence from the text which is in the active voice is (Mackenzie 2016)

Resolução passo a passo

1. Voz ativa é a construção em que o sujeito pratica a ação (sujeito + verbo + complemento). Voz passiva é a construção em que o sujeito sofre a ação, geralmente com o verbo 'to be' seguido de particípio. Passo 2: Analisando a alternativa A, 'Stangl was extradited and was targeted for the death of 900 thousand people' está na voz passiva, pois Stangl sofre a ação de ser extraditado e de ser alvo de acusação. Passo 3: Na alternativa B, 'The information ... is sent to the headquarters in Germany' está na voz passiva, pois a informação é enviada por alguém, e o sujeito 'the information' recebe a ação. Passo 4: Na alternativa C, 'That stampede has been compared to the escape of rodents' está na voz passiva no tempo present perfect (has been + particípio), e o sujeito 'that stampede' recebe a ação de ser comparado. Passo 5: Na alternativa D, 'he has already made 14 trips to the National Archive' está na voz ativa no present perfect (has + made), pois o sujeito 'he' pratica a ação de fazer as viagens. Passo 6: Na alternativa E, 'He was never tried' está na voz passiva, pois ele sofre a ação de ser julgado. Passo 7: Conclusão: entre as cinco alternativas, somente a D está na voz ativa, então o gabarito D está correto. Observação: o enunciado afirma que a frase é a única do texto na voz ativa, o que não é exato, pois há outras frases ativas no texto, como 'The Third Reich fell apart 71 years ago' e 'He died at age 67'. Ainda assim, a resposta correta dentro das alternativas oferecidas é a D.

💡 Dica: Identifique a voz ativa nas frases do texto.
