Hamburg - A 93-year-old former SS guard went on trial in Germany on Thursday for complicity in the murder of more than 5,000 people at a Nazi concentration camp during World War II, in what could be one of the last such cases.
Seated in a wheelchair, Dey, who wore a hat, hid his face behind a red ring folder as he entered the courtroom. "Old age should not be a reason not to judge... He was part of the greatest tragedy in history, it was his will."During Dey's time at the camp, the"Final Solution" order to exterminate Jews was issued by the Nazi leadership, leading to the systematic killing of inmates in gas chambers, while others died of starvation or because they were denied medical care, prosecutors said.
Since then, Germany has been racing to put on trial surviving SS personnel on those grounds rather than for murders or atrocities directly linked to the individual accused. Dey also reportedly confirmed he knew of the camp's gas chambers, where he saw SS prisoners being pushed inside.
