TL;DR Summary

A 98-year-old German man has been charged with being an accessory to murder for his alleged involvement in the killings of over 3,300 people at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during World War II. Prosecutors claim that he supported the cruel and malicious killings as a member of the SS guard detail. Due to his young age at the time of the alleged crimes, a juvenile court will decide whether to proceed with the trial. Germany has been actively prosecuting surviving Nazis, but many trials have been canceled due to the advanced age and health of the accused.
