The criminal trial began Thursday of a 100-year-old man who was a Nazi SS guard at a concentration camp during World War II -- who faces charges of being an accessory to thousands of deaths there over a period of three years. The man, identified as Josef S., faces about 3,500 counts. German prosecutors say he aided mass murder at the Sachsenhausen camp between 1942 and 1945. The man didn't speak during the hearing and his attorney said he wouldn't reveal personal details. Prosecutors say the former guard knowingly supported thousands of deaths at the camp that occurred CORRECTION*

1, leave what alone?
I wasn't aware there was a statute of limitations on mass murder and genocide.
That's 3500 people who never had a chance to live to 100 like he did.

Is it any wonder that so much generational misunderstanding exists? To millennials, a hate crime is mean-tweeting. To Boomers, a hate crime is a jack-booted monster pinning a yellow star on your shirt and directing you into a boxcar.

Enough. If truly guilty he's lived with shame for 70+ years. There is no way a fair trial can be held after this length of time. God WILL sort it out and he will not escape HIS justice.

Just a subtle reminder: "NAZI" is short for National SOCIALIST. Never forget the crimes against humanity that have been perpetrated by SOCIALISM.
As for #1's suggestion; No.

Soros was part of that bunch. Why has he not been tried. And for those thinking we should let it go, read Exodus by Leon Uris. It will change your mind. Yes, it's an old book. I read it as a teen. I've never forgotten the atrocities in it. You won't either.

Sorry #1 - You cannot just leave stuff like this alone. These people were monsters who somehow overcame natural instincts to commit the most unspeakable, vile crimes imaginable.
Letting this go because so much time has passed encourages the same thing to happen over and over again. Given the current slide of our nation into the similar darkness demonstrated by both the communists and the nazis over the last 100 years, I fail to understand how anyone can advocate letting it go.
We must never forget, or we will become what they were.

The stress and duration of a trial will kill him. It's the death penalty, regardless of the verdict. JUSTICE!, Kangaroo Style. You believe the world's highest legal priority took 70 years? The accused is innocent until proven otherwise, even if the accusation is as serious as being a NAZI or... a Trump Supporter. How can this presumed innocent man possibly face his accusers or call on defence witnesses if they are dead? Justice delayed is justice denied. Maybe he is guilty, maybe not. But the prosecution is, at best, wrong by 70 years. Bear in mind, Biden can't remember Tuesday...

He won't reveal details? Good Lord, the guy is 100 years old. I don't think it's a matter of won't as much as it is can't. He was an ordinary soldier doing what he was told to do. He probably didn't like it, but he was no position to stop it. He didn't give the orders. I'll bet he's had nightmares his entire life. I'm all for remembering the Holocaust and making sure it never happens again, but going after someone whose a 100 years old who had no say in what was going on 80 years after the fact is ridiculous. We have a recent example of what happens to a soldier who questions the actions of the brass. He was lucky. He was just sent to jail. Do you think the German brass back WWII would have been that lenient?

Justice does need to be served. But, what if this 100 year old man used the same defense as hillary? What difference does it make now?

I'm posting this just as a thought exercise. Let's take the case of Werner Von Braun. He designed and built the V-! nd V-2 rockets using slave labor under horrendous conditions. His missiles rained down on England, destroying cities and causing casualties tin the multiple of thousands.
His fate? He was scooped by the U.S., with what V-2's remained and in the end became head of the newly founded NASA.
The SS Guard, on the other hand, was placed in a kill or be killed position by being posted at Sachsenhausen. And then there's George Soros, Nazi Collaborator, who to this day is being protected from prosecution.
Just something to think about.

Was Durham the investigating attorney? I guess life in prison won't mean too much to a 100 year old man.

The men who led and ordered all the mass murder committed suicide 75 years ago. A lot of the rank and file believed all the brainwashing and propaganda, and followed along. It was evident that Germany was going to lose the war by the end of 1943, but the leadership, knowing they would be hung, if they surrendered, fought on to the end, leaving Germany a pile of rubble.

How long will it take to bring those who are murdering patients in our hospitals to justice? To those murdering through coerced vaccinations. To the doctors refusing to treat unvaccinated people. We have mass genocide in America at this very moment and almost nobody is noticing.

My wife was doing the documentation on the gift of a concentration camp uniform to a museum. She asked me for some help translating an article, from the original German, that mentioned the donor. American soldiers took over the camp, arrested the German troops and SS soldiers, and held a preliminary trial. Why preliminary? Because some of the guards were compassionate with the prisoners. Weren't sadistic. Were humane. The prisoners sorted the good from the bad in the hearings and places like Nuremburg did the rest. But that struck me... the prisoners thought some of the guards were good.
We don't hear that nowadays. If he was a guard, he's toast. Period.
Some of them should get ... toasted. But some....

That's a drop in the bucket compared to what Fauci, the CDC and AMA has done to American citizens. Jeez Biden killed at least 10 times that by giving them to the Taliban.

Meanwhile, we use the cells of murdered infants for medication, but that's okay because we're the good guys.

Dr. Fraud is responsible for WAY more deaths than that, and he still walks free.
