Ex-Nazi in court: The trial of a 94-year-old former SS guard, accused of being an accessory to the murder of hundreds of concentration camp prisoners, began in Germany this week. Johann Rehbogen was a guard at the Stutthof camp in what is now northern Poland from 1942 to 1944; more than 100 Polish prisoners, 77 Soviet prisoners, and several hundred Jews were gassed to death at Stutthof in 1944. The defendant, who entered the courtroom in a wheelchair, wept as lawyers read aloud the testimony of Holocaust survivors like Marga Griesbach, who recounted the death of her 6-year-old brother. The former guard is being tried in a juvenile court because he was under 21 at the time of the killings; he has previously said he was unaware of the atrocities at the camp.
