93-year-old former Auschwitz guard charged

None

German prosecutors say they've charged a 93-year-old man with 300,000 counts of accessory to murder for serving as a guard at the Nazis' Auschwitz death camp.

 

The charges against Oskar Groening come as part of a nationwide push against former Auschwitz guards launched last year.

 

Unlike most of the others, Groening has openly talked about his time as a guard and says while he witnessed horrific atrocities, he didn't commit any crimes himself.
