A 100-year-old former guard at a Nazi concentration camp, accused of “aiding and abetting” the murder of over 3,300 prisoners during World War II, may face trial 80 years after the end of the war, a German court has ruled. The defendant worked at Sachsenhausen camp, which is around 25 miles north of Berlin, from July 1943 to February 1945, the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt said Tuesday in a news release. The guard's name has not been disclosed because of German reporting rules.
More than 200,000 people were detained at Sachsenhausen after it became one of the first concentration camps to open in 1936. The camp was also used to train members of the SS, the paramilitary organization of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich that ran other concentration camps such as Auschwitz and Treblinka in Poland.
