Court convicts Auschwitz guard, 94, as accessory to murder

DETMOLD, Germany (AP) — A 94-year-old former SS sergeant was found guilty Friday of 170,000 counts of accessory to murder and sentenced to five years in prison for serving as an Auschwitz guard, in a verdict that survivors from the Nazi death camp hailed as a long overdue victory. Reinhold Hanning, sitting in a wheelchair, listened attentively but showed no reaction as Presiding Judge Anke Grudda read the ruling in state court in Detmold, Germany. She said Hanning was a cog in a “perfectly functioning machinery” of destruction, helping operate the death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland where some 1.1 million people, primarily Jews, were killed. “You were in Auschwitz for two and a half years and performed an important function,” she said. “You were part of a criminal organization and took part in criminal activity in Auschwitz,” she said. Auschwitz survivor Hedy Bohm, who came from Toronto to testify at the trial and for the verdict, said she was “grateful and pleased by this justice finally after 70 years.” “It is my dream to be in Germany, in a German court, with German judges acknowledging the Holocaust,” the 88-year-old said. Bohm was one of four survivors present for the verdict, who also joined the trial as co-plaintiffs as allowed under German law. Overall, about a dozen survivors testified during the four-month trial, and 58 survivors or their relatives joined as co-plaintiffs. In her ruling, Grudda said much of their testimony put to rest any criticism that the crimes of the Nazis were too far in the past to prosecute today. “Anyone who had the opportunity to hear the testimony of the co-plaintiffs can answer the question of importance of such a trial,” she said. Hanning’s attorney, Andreas Scharmer, suggested an appeal was likely, and Hanning won’t have to serve any prison time until his appeals are exhausted.
He had faced a maximum of 15 years. Hanning’s defense had called for an acquittal, saying there is no evidence he killed or beat anyone, while prosecutors sought a six-year sentence. Scharmer said he was not surprised by the verdict. “I didn’t expect the court to have the courage for an acquittal,” he said.
Former Auschwitz Guard Sentenced in German Court
A 94-year-old former SS sergeant who served as a guard at Auschwitz was found guilty on Friday of more than 170,000 counts of accessory to murder, on allegations he helped the Nazi death camp kill 1.1 million Jews and others. (June 17)
In sentencing Hanning, Grudda said “there is no appropriate punishment” for his crimes, but that the court had to follow guidelines and also take into account his age, his statement of remorse, and the length of time that had elapsed since the crimes. “We cannot, and should not punish him symbolically for all the perpetrators of the Holocaust,” she said. Hanning had testified that he volunteered for the SS at age 18 and served in Auschwitz from January 1942 to June 1944, but said he was not involved in the killings. “It disturbs me deeply that I was part of such a criminal organization,” he told the court in April. “I am ashamed that I saw injustice and never did anything about it and I apologize for my actions.” Following the verdict, Leon Schwarzbaum, a 95-year-old Auschwitz survivor from Berlin, said he had slipped Hanning’s attorney a letter urging him to have his client detail more about what he knew about the death camp’s operations for the sake of educating younger generations. “Mr. Hanning should have said more about what he saw in Auschwitz and what he did in Auschwitz — he did not tell what Auschwitz was,” Schwarzbaum said. “It was a hell on earth.” Hanning joined the Hitler Youth with his class in 1935 at age 13, then volunteered at 18 for the Waffen SS in 1940 at the urging of his stepmother. He fought in several battles in World War II before being hit by grenade splinters in his head and leg during close combat in Kiev in 1941. He told the court that as he was recovering from his wounds he asked to be sent back but his commander decided he was no longer fit for front-line duty, and so sent him to Auschwitz, without his knowing what it was. Though there was no evidence Hanning was responsible for a specific crime, he was tried under new legal reasoning that as a guard he helped the death camp operate, and thus could be tried for accessory to murder. The same argument was used last year against SS sergeant Oskar Groening, to convict him of 300,000 counts of accessory to murder for serving in Auschwitz. Germany’s highest appeals court is expected to rule on the validity of the Groening verdict sometime this summer. The precedent for both the Groening and Hanning cases was set in 2011, with the conviction in Munich of former Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk on allegations he served as a Sobibor death camp guard. Although Demjanjuk always denied serving at the death camp and died before his appeal could be heard, it opened a wave of new investigations by the special prosecutor’s office in Ludwigsburg responsible for Nazi war crime probes. The head of the office, Jens Rommel, said two other Auschwitz cases are still pending trial — another guard and also the commandant’s radio operator — contingent on their health, and a third is still being investigated by Frankfurt prosecutors. Rommel’s office, which has no power to bring charges itself, has also recommended charges in three Majdanek death camp cases, and has sent them on to prosecutors who are now investigating. Meantime, the office is still poring through documents for both death camps, and is also looking into former members of the so-called Einsatzgruppen mobile death squads, and guards at several concentration camps. Efraim Zuroff, the head Nazi-hunter at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said he hoped the Hanning verdict would give German authorities the impetus to expedite the remaining cases.
“The Hanning verdict highlights the important role played by all those who served in the death camps,” he said in a telephone interview from Jerusalem. “Without them the crimes of the Nazis could never have reached the levels that they did.”
now if this man can be held accoutable...........What about the US INC corporate fraudulent government , why are they not held accountable , for crimes against humanity since at least the civil war era , there can be NO EXCUSE whatsoever......The US INC. fraud government is now threatening Russia if they would dare expose some current and future planned crimes against humanity........THIS HAS GOT TO CHANGE..........!!!
What will happen to the jews after so many deaths from day one, how about the killing and abuse of Palestinians and how about so many of their crimes from very ancient times, are the jews free from guilt? About time he world starts having a tribunal against Israel and all of those participants in crimes to humanity.
You need to stop believing all the propaganda coming out against the 'jews' and Israel my friend. GO THERE - STAY A WHILE - and LEARN THE TRUTH. Are YOU FREE from guilt? Have you never done anything 'wrong'? Research the TRUE history about Israel - both the people and the land.
When will a tribunal hold ISRAEL accountable for over a century of Ethnic Cleansing against the Palestinians and their home?
When will they be held accountable for crimes against humanity and the removal of millions from their land?
When will the entire movement of ISIS and Saudi Arabia be held accountable for mass murder over three generations, the indiscriminate killing of MILLIONS?
When will Cambodia be held accountable for its war crimes in the death of millions?
When will the United States be held accountable for the death and Ethnic cleansing of over twenty million Native Americans and tribes forcibly removed from their ancestor lands?
When will Hamas be held accountable for the tends of thousands killed in suicide bomb attacks every year?
Not soon ENOUGH, that is for sure. They should all be tried for crimes against humanity in public court, especially Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Mullahs.
WHEN will the U.S. military be held accountable for guarding poppy fields in Afghanistan that provide the crap to millions+ who get addicted to it, pay money - even stolen from hard working people - to purchase that stuff? Some who overdose from it? And the drug cartels - Bush/Clintons for one - who make billions off the negative experiences of the addicts? How about WHEN will Americans be held accountable for not eating all the food on their plates? And WHEN will Americans be held accountable for 'voting' for the officers of rogue criminal cabal corporations? And how about WHEN will dogs and cats be made to clean up their messes off the sidewalks and lawns of America? Any other 'when's you want to add to the list? There are plenty! How about some more hate filled WHENS, you know - because the posters don't know the TRUTH about locations, peoples and FACTS of situations.

We focus on teaching you the tools to become your own authority on the truth, gaining self-mastery, sovereignty, and freedom in the process. We want each of you to become your own leaders and masters of personal discernment, and as such, all information should be vetted, analyzed and discerned at a personal level. We also encourage you to discuss your thoughts in the comments section of this site to engage in a group discernment process.
