“Trial against the former SS guard stopped”

“the Trial of a 95-year-old former SS guard at a Nazi concentration camp has been stopped. The man’s health problems will probably lead to that the trial, one of the last of its kind, is set completely.”

“A medical report to the court in Münster shows that the man is not able to go through a trial, because of heart problems. The right will take a final decision in mid-march about the case.”

“the Man is suspected of having participated in the killings of hundreds of people in the Stutthof concentration camp more than three miles from the present Gdansk shipyards in Poland during the second world war, between 1942 and 1944. He denies the allegations, and during the trial, said in a statement that he had never been a nazi. The man was tried in a juvenile court because he was under 21 years when the crimes must have been committed.”

“About 65 000 people, including many jews, were murdered or died in the camp Stutthof.”

“the Holocaust, Nazi germany’s mass murder 1939-1945, was killed about six million jews, according to the UN. About half of them ihjälgasades, the rest were shot, starved or froze to death.”

“Also five million non-jews – poles, russians, roma, homosexuals and the mentally ill – were murdered by the nazis.”

“At Auschwitz, the German name of the city of the city of oswiecim in southern Poland, built the largest and most notorious nazi concentration and utrotningslägret during the second world war. Between one and two million people died in Auschwitz.”
