I share your doubts and always have. And, as you say, the Holocaust was a horrible thing but I believe that there is probably a great deal of overreach in ferreting out the guilty. It is as though several people die as a result of eating spoiled food at a restaurant and the authorities set about to prosecute the busboy.
I agree... This poor ole coot’s main sin is living too long. He’s been tried several times, including U S federal court in Cleveland where is was a retired auto worker. He said it was a case of mistaken identity. That yes, he was a guard, but no he was not a bad guy. He was forced by Nazis to work in the camp. I have followed the case and therefore have some doubts as to the validity of the “guilty” finding, but leave it to the Germans to take it out on this schlub to sooth their collective guilt. [Not defending him if he IS guilty - just as it is obvious that OJ was guilty and got away with it, this guy may have been at the wrong place at the wrong time and may be a scapegoat]
More like a “busboy” who daily reported to work knowing murder and cannibalism was going on in the kitchen - and he bussed tables under the stench of burning human flesh, death and decay.
But hey! Work is work, right?/s
