A former Auschwitz guard has died days before his trial in Germany -- dashing the hopes of survivors who wanted to see justice for their dead parents.
Ernst Tremmel, who was 93, was a guard at the notorious Nazi concentration camp during the Second World War.
He was accused of 1,075 counts of accessory to murder, covering the time he worked at the camp from November 1942 to June 1943.

One of the most frightening things about research into this arena is just how good the records the Nazis kept were. True, these deteriorated toward the end of the war, but during the height of the killing they were horrifyingly complete.
After the war, my grandmother researched and received a formal paper through a Jewish organization with her parents’ Vernichtungsdaten on it. Extermination dates. Each was killed in a concentration camp and each parent had an “extermination date.”
When I first found this document in a book of hers, my legs gave way and I slumped into the floor.
If he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior then he will go before the Bema Seat of Christ.
Romans 12:19
If they are 90 or older, let them go.
I think they just got justice! And so did the tax payers!
Reinhard Heydrich. He went out with a bang.
Ridiculous. But your cheap shot is noted.
G-d bless you. I think I would have experienced your same reaction. Just reading your comment numbed my arms and hands. I had to wait over a minute to type this to you.
Not really a fair tactic or accusation. You seem to be seeking to discredit their arguments based on associating them with being Nazi sympathizers. Then you do not have to do the heavy lifting of making a coherent argument as to why their point of view has no merit. That is the standard way the left responds when they do not want to have to discuss the merits of an argument, it is called disqualification.
One can disagree on this issue and very well do it on one’s own idea of principle. Many times I have heard folks who I think very highly of have different interpretations of the correct action on a particular issue.
I certainly have more sympathy for them than for a dumbass like you.
Yes, if he received the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior from sin, he has been justified by faith in Christ (declared righteous by God), and is forgiven of all his sins—past, present, and future—but his works will be judged (1 Corinthians 3:13-15)before the judgment seat (bema) of Christ.
From what I could find out about Mr. Tremmel, “he never broke his silence about what he did in the SS” (post #95);
I would think that true repentance could not remain silent.
Not sure about that.
The climate in Germany towards war vets is kind of odd, in most cases no one wants to hear about it. I have heard regular German vets say they had a kinder more sympathetic audience in US veterans and US history buffs then they did in their home country with the younger generations raised in the 1970s and alter.
Fact is German culture is much less about bearing ones soul and sins in public then the American culture. Much more of a stiff upper lip culture.
Ultimately none of us know what was in his heart.
I read the stat in a book called “Carnage and Culture” by Victor Davis Hansen.It does include German troops shot en masse in Russia after Soviet trials
Awww. You understand. A young mother, escaping Germany to find her children in foster homes in another country (England), desperately wanting to know WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MOTHER AND FATHER. Writing to a Jewish organizations she heard could help. Then getting this horrific letter.
