Former SS guard, 98, charged as accessory to murder at Nazi concentration camp_我的网站

一 |     A 98-year-old man has been charged in Germany with being an accessory to murder as a guard at the Nazis' Sachsenhausen concentration camp between 1943 and 1945, prosecutors said Friday.The German citizen, a resident of Main-Kinzig county near Frankfurt, is accused of having "supported the cruel and malicious killing of thousands of prisoners as a member of the SS guard detail," prosecutors in Giessen said in a statement. They did not release the suspect's name.He is charged with more than 3,300 counts of being an accessory to murder between July 1943 and February 1945. The indictment was filed at the state court in Hanau, which will now have to decide whether to send the case to trial. If it does, he will be tried under juvenile law, taking account of his age at the time of the alleged crimes.

     Prosecutors said that a report by a psychiatric expert last October found that the suspect is fit to stand trial at least on a limited basis.More than 200,000 people were held at Sachsenhausen, just north of Berlin, between 1936 and 1945. Tens of thousands died of starvation, disease, forced labor, and other causes, as well as through medical experiments and systematic SS extermination operations including shootings, hangings and gassing.

             

Exact numbers for those killed vary, with upper estimates of some 100,000, though scholars suggest figures of 40,000 to 50,000 are likely more accurate.                 

Law enables trials of surviving SS personnel   

German prosecutors have brought several cases under a precedent set in recent years that allows for people who helped a Nazi camp function to be prosecuted as an accessory to the murders there without direct evidence that they participated in a specific killing.Charges of murder and being an accessory to murder aren't subject to a statute of limitations under German law.But given the advanced age of the accused, many trials have had to be cancelled for health reasons.Convictions also do not lead to actual imprisonment, with some defendants dying before they could even begin to serve their jail terms.                      Among those found guilty in these late trials were Oskar Groening — a former Nazi death camp guard dubbed the "Accountant of Auschwitz" — and Reinhold Hanning, a former SS guard at the same camp.Both men were found guilty for complicity in mass murder at age 94 but died before they could be imprisoned.An 101-year-old ex-Nazi camp guard, Josef Schuetz was convicted last year, becoming the oldest so far to be put on trial for complicity.He died in April while awaiting the outcome of an appeal against his five-year jail sentence.And a 97-year-old former concentration camp secretary, Irmgard Furchner, became the first woman to be tried for Nazi crimes in decades in December 2022, the BBC reported. She was found guilty of complicity in the murders of more than 10,500 people at Stutthof camp, near the city of Danzig.AFP contributed to this report.

。    西湖的荷花文化早已和这座城市紧紧相连。西湖荷花属于“花莲”品系，以观赏为主，所以莲蓬产量远远不及“子莲”，西湖水域管理处工作人员说，莲市期间，一般每天可以保证50~70份的莲蓬、荷叶。摘掉过密的荷叶，为的是给下层荷叶“让路”，让阳光透进去，促使新叶生长，同时减少腐烂荷叶对水质的污染。摘来的荷叶、莲蓬义卖给市民和游客，一举两得。西湖莲蓬、荷叶之所以会被杭州人追捧，一是因为现采的莲蓬，长在西湖里无公害，吃起来确实很嫩。二来，不少人只认西湖牌荷叶，这是一种西湖情结，而且叶子够大，拿回去晒干、剪碎，用来泡茶喝，或者做粉蒸肉、叫花鸡。西湖景区水域管理处水生植物养护班班长俞阳洋介绍，荷花是强光性植物，今年雨水比较多，受多个台风影响和连续强降雨，荷叶在潮湿环境下，部分叶面上可能有斑点，样子可能没那么完美。今年的西湖莲蓬、荷叶义卖，从8月13日开始，一直持续至8月下旬，每个工作日上午7点，柳浪闻莺微笑亭（柳浪闻莺公园内、钱王祠码头西南侧附近）准时发放当日号码牌，8点30分开始售卖，每份10元，每人限购一份，售完即止，请自备零钱（或支付宝付款）。逢双休日或者雨天停售。每一分义卖所得都将捐入慈善机构，去往需要它们的地方，温暖更多的人。提醒各位市民游客，义卖现场请有序排队，并配合工作人员维护现场秩序。
