DETMOLD, Germany — A German judge on Friday convicted a 94-year-old
former Auschwitz guard of being an accessory to 170,000 counts of
murder.
Reinhold Hanning was sentenced to five years in prison by the district court of Detmold.
Presiding judge Anke Grudda said the sentence was "the least that a society can do" even though it came "very late."
Holocaust survivors and Jewish organizations quickly hailed the verdict,
with World Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder saying Hanning "got
the sentence he deserved."
