Former Auschwitz guard to go on trial in Germany
Associated Press in Berlin
The Guardian, Tuesday 16 December 2014 12.35 GMT
A 93-year-old man charged with 300,000 counts of accessory to murder for serving as an SS guard at the Nazis’ Auschwitz death camp will go on trial early next year.
Lüneburg state court said on Tuesday its review of the prosecution’s case against Oskar Gröning determined there was enough evidence to proceed with the trial. The starting date has not been announced.
Gröning has openly talked about his time as a guard and says he witnessed atrocities but did not commit any crimes himself.
