A 101-year-old former Nazi concentration camp guard has been sentenced to five years in prison by a German court for aiding and abetting the murder of 3,518 people during the Holocaust
The man had been charged in 2021 with"knowingly and willfully" aiding and abetting the killing of prisoners at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in Oranienburg, north of Berlin, from January 1942 to February 1945, according to the prosecutor's office in Neuruppin, in the northeastern state of Brandenburg. He was sentenced by the Neuruppin Regional Court on Tuesday, court spokeswoman Iris le Claire told CNN.Le Claire said the trial was a complex process.
The Central Council of Jews in Germany acknowledged the ruling."Even if the defendant will probably not serve the full prison term due to his advanced age, the verdict is to be welcomed," Josef Schuster, the council's president, told CNN. "The thousands of people who worked in the concentration camps kept the murder machinery running. They were part of the system, therefore they should also take responsibility for it," Schuster said.
