Hundred -year -old Nazis appeared in court with a folder

This trial was started in October last year, and Joseph S was the oldest among the defendants who have received such trial so far. He came to the court in a wheelchair, holding a briefcase in his hand, and entered the court with a pedestrian rack. He covered his face with a blue folder to prevent the photographer from taking it.

However, the court believed that it proved that he worked in a concentration camp in the suburbs of Berlin from 1942 to 1945 as a member of the Nazi Party's quasi -military forces.

According to Germany, the trial judge Lechidman said to the recipient: "The conclusion of the court's conclusion is just the opposite of what you claim. You have been a guard in the concentration camp for about three years. During this period Horror murder. You willingly support this massacre with your actions. For three years, you watch people suffer cruelly or even murder every day. "

The judge also said that the five -year imprisonment was determined by various factors including the health and age of the prisoner, and also met the requirements of the prosecutor.

The defendant's lawyer had previously sought innocent release, and after the sentence, he stated that he would appeal to the verdict.

The Jewish group welcomes the ruling

Joseph Schust, chairman of the German Jewish Central Committee, said: "Even if the defendant may not be able to serve the entire sentence because of his age, the verdict is still happy."

"Thousands of people working in the concentration camp allowed the murder machine to run. They were part of the slaughter system, so they should be responsible for this." Schuster added, "It is sad that the defendant has always denied his behavior at the time, And there is no regret. "

Local media reported that for actual reasons, the trial was conducted in a gym in the 101 -year -old man in Brandonburg. He can only participate in about two and a half hours of trial every day, and due to health reasons and hospitalization, the process has been interrupted many times.

The chief Nazi hunter at the Simon-Veson Talt Center in the Jerusalem office Evraim Zulov told the Associated Press: "This conveys a determination to the Nazi elements. Ten years later, you will be rope to justice. And this is very important to the victims and his relatives, which not only comforts the victim's spirit in heaven and soothe the painful heart of his relatives. "

However, Zurov expressed concerns that because Joseph S had to appeal and had a high age, he might only take part in part of his sentence or not to serve at all.

There are nearly a hundred -year -old Nazis waiting for trial

It is the first new place after the Aduv Hitler let the SS fully controlled the Nazi concentration camp system. The concentration was liberated by the Soviet Union in April 1945.

From 1936 to 1945, more than 200,000 people were detained there. Tens of thousands of prisoners died of systemic slaughter such as hunger, disease, high -intensity labor, and systemic slaughter such as ergonomic experiments, guns, twisted and poisonous gas.

The accurate numbers of the victims statistics from various institutions are different, and the maximum estimates are about 100,000, but some people think that the number of 40,000 to 50,000 people may be more accurate.

In another case, a 96 -year -old woman will be tried in Izzeho, a town in northern Germany in late September. It is said that the woman had served as the secretary of the SS commander of the Stukhof Concentration Camp during the war, and was accused of committing more than 11,000 crime of committing murder.
