"German Centenarian Faces Charges for Nazi Concentration Camp Involvement"

A 98-year-old German man has been charged with being an accessory to murder for his role as a guard at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during the Nazi era. Prosecutors accuse him of supporting the killing of thousands of prisoners. The man, whose name has not been released, faces more than 3,300 counts of being an accessory to murder. German prosecutors have brought similar cases in recent years, allowing for the prosecution of individuals who helped Nazi camps function without direct evidence of their participation in specific killings. The charges of murder and being an accessory to murder are not subject to a statute of limitations under German law.
