Demjanjuk Convicted for Role in Nazi Death Camp

[CCIP]

Another important thing to point out is that being a "regular prison guard" or "military prison guard" is grossly inaccurate for camps which, even when not designed to exterminate, contained thousands upon thousands of civilians who did not commit any crimes nor participated in any combat. So even if deaths were not a factor, I would consider being accessory to their imprisonment to be a very severe crime indeed.

And when I brought up the "8 years in Israel", I didn't really mean anything. Just stating an additional qualifier to your 'he's been in prison already'.

For myself, I think that as long as an opportunity exists to find any perpetrators, regardless of their age or the danger they present to society, it's worthwhile. Better they be held to responsibility directly than having people who weren't alive at the time debate which country is more guilty....
