Oskar Groening confessed during his trial to feeling "moral guilt" for serving as an SS sergeant at Auschwitz. On Wednesday, a court ruled that he was guilty of being an accessory to the murder of 300,000 Jews and sentenced him to four years in prison.
The 94-year-old, who testified that he oversaw the collection of prisoners' belongings and ensured valuables and cash were separated to be sent to Berlin, listened expressionlessly to the verdict after a 2 1/2-month trial that could set a legal landmark.
I don't care how old he is, he finally was brought to justice for his despicable crimes. May he rot in jail! Bastard!

It makes you wonder, as that generation ages out more and more, exactly how many more former guards are still out there alive....

SSG Izzy Abbass - Yeah I mean just look at the number of WWII Veterans here in America. Sadly, we are getting closer and closer to not having any of them attend events soon.
