German prosecutors are asking for charges to be made against a guard who allegedly served at Auschwitz.
The 87-year-old, whose name has not yet been released, was accused on Wednesday of being an ex-SS Nazi who was involved in killing more than 344,000 Jews at the death camp.
Kurt Schrimm, head prosecutor, said that the man could face a criminal charge as an accessory to murder.
“I can’t say where he was in the camp, but all guards were stationed at times on the ramps, the gas chambers and the towers.”
