BERLIN (Reuters) – A 93-year-old former
guard at the Nazi death camp Auschwitz will go on trial in Germany in
April on charges of being an accessory to the murder of at least 1,075
people, a German court announced on Friday.
The accused was a member of the Nazi SS guard team at
Auschwitz in occupied Poland from November 1942 to June 1943, a court
spokesman in the western city of Hanau near Frankfurt said, adding that
the man had been deemed fit for trial.
Although the former guard is not accused of having been
directly involved in any killings, the prosecution’s office holds that
he was aware of the camp’s function as a facility for mass murder.
