Former Nazi death camp guard charged with accessory to murder

German public prosecutors have charged a 96-year-old former guard at a Nazi death camp with having been an accessory to murder, as Germany races against time to bring elderly suspects from the Hitler era to trial before they die.

 

The then 22-year-old man, whom the Frankfurt prosecutor's office did not identify in its statement, is accused of having guarded prisoners at the death camp in Lublin-Majdanek who were slated to be killed in 1943 and 1944.

 

"According to the evidence available, the accused knew about the cruelty of the organised mass killings, just like all other members of the SS at the camp," it said in a statement.
