Breyer told The Associated Press in a 2012 interview that while he was a guard at Auschwitz, he was assigned to a part of the camp that was not involved in the slaughter of Jews and others.

I always love this excuse.

Even if they weren't a part of herding the Jews into the chambers, they were a part of the logistical support of the overall camp that kept it functioning.

That makes them accessories. And in American criminal law, even if you are an accessory to a crime, if someone dies then even the accessories are charged with murder for their part in helping make the situation arise that led to death.

Once someone volunteered for SS at all, it was the luck of the draw (from a human point of view) whether he would get involved with a death camp.

My question is how far do you want to go with this kind of accusation? Just because somebody’s human law says something makes it neither right nor moral.
