Former SS guard, 94, weeps at testimony of Holocaust survivors
A former SS guard wept in the dock on the first day of his trial for complicity in mass murder at a Nazi concentration camp during the second world war.
The 94-year-old German from the western district of Borken, in the North Rhine-Westphalia state, served as a guard from June 1942 to September 1944 at the Stutthof camp near what was then Danzig, now Gdańsk in Poland.
On Monday, the defendant, identified only as Johann R, entered the regional court of Münster in a wheelchair, with the aid of a walking stick, to face charges of being an accessory to the murders of several hundred camp prisoners.
These included more than 100 Polish prisoners gassed in June 1944 and “probably several hundred” Jews killed between August and December 1944 as part of the Nazis’ Final Solution.
Initially composed, the defendant wept when the testimony of Holocaustsurvivors was read out by their lawyers.
Fuck him.Let the bastard die in despair.
Consider these stories. Nazis should be hunted down like vermin.
