From the AP:
“Ex-Nazi living in U.S. for
decades to be deported”
The U.S. government said Thursday
that it is deporting a 94-year-old German ex-Nazi who has been in the United
States for decades. An immigration judge ordered Friedrich Karl Berger's
deportation on Feb. 28 after a two-day trial in Memphis, authorities said. It's
unclear when he will be removed. Berger, who's been living in Tennessee, has 30
days to appeal the ruling. The government says Berger was an armed guard at a
concentration camp near Meppen, Germany, in 1945. The immigration judge found
that the prisoners Berger guarded were held in atrocious conditions and were
exploited for forced labor. Berger also was accused of guarding prisoners
during a forced evacuation to a main camp that took two weeks and left 70
prisoners dead as they traveled in inhumane conditions, according to two
government news releases. Berger acknowledged that he never requested a
transfer from the concentration camp guard service and that he still gets a
pension from Germany. He has been living in the U.S. since 1959. The U.S.
Department of Justice's Human Rights and Special Prosecutions unit launched an
investigation into Berger in 2017. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement's
Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center also investigated. In August 2018,
American authorities deported a 95-year-old former Nazi concentration camp
guard who had lived quietly in New York City for decades. The man died in
Germany about five months later.
^ For anyone who says "Why
do I need to care about the Holocaust and World War 2 since this year is the
75th Anniversary of both ending." There are literally Nazis everywhere
still. Luckily the "Worst Generation" of Germans is dying out every day
and soon they will only be looking up at us (of course that also sadly means
the "Greatest Generation" of Americans, Brits, Canadians, etc. are
also dying every day, but soon they will be looking down on us.) ^
