Credits:

Oskar Groening who was the book-keeper of the Auschwitz concentration camp has been sentenced to serve 4 years in prison for being responsible for 300,000 deaths. The 94-year old who did not kill anyone himself, was accused of being an accessory to the crimes perpetrated by the Nazis and sending thousands of Jews to the gas chambers.

Mass killings during the Holocaust

The Holocaust was the mass killing of millions of Jews and other people. 7 out of every 10 Jews were killed in Europe between 1933-1945 by the German Nazi Party led by Adolf Hitler. Hitler wanted to wipe out all the Jews and other undesirable people and also killed anyone who spoke against him by sending them to concentration camps.

John Demjanjuk found guilty of Nazi war crimes

John Demjanjuk, a 91-year-old Ukrainian man was sentenced to five years in prison for the death of 28,060 Jews. Demjanjuk was convicted as he served as a Nazi guard at the Sobibór concentration camp where he led the Jews to gas chambers. Even though there was no evidence against Demjanjuk, prosecutors said his mere presence was enough for him to be called a murderer.

Why are Nazi supporters being punished after 70 years?

The reasons stated by Munich Regional Court for the conviction of John Demjanjuk had satisfied the families of the Holocaust victims. The court said even if there was no evidence that Demjanjuk had killed people with his own hands, his mere presence and help at a camp whose sole purpose was to kill Jews was enough for him to be an accomplice to crime.

Debate reignites: Still prosecuting Nazi war criminals justified?

The news of 93-year old Auschwitz accountant going on trial for conviction had sparked a debate. The prosecutors argued that it was the last chance for the victims to claim justice for the barbarous holocaust after 70 years. Others said there was no point in punishing those who weren't involved directly as the conviction of people who were just an accessory was not justified.
