as we see here, and stated in other threads, it's not that easy to prosecute WW2 war criminals....it's hard enough to prosecute someone for something that happened 20 years ago....unless, you have irrefutable proof, I could not just find guilty on memories of 70 years ago...how can they tell it was him, when people change over 70 years? etc...I know the defendant is the one who is the difficulty here......should they prosescute after so many years??? yes!....possible, but difficult http://news.yahoo.com/former-ss-medic-auschwitz-going-072844229.html http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/feb/29/auschwitz-medic-hubert-zafke-trial-germany
According to this article in the Daily Mail one of the witnesses slated to testify against Zafke and Hanning if the trial proceeds was born in the Auschwitz camp a month before it was liberated. http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/germany-puts-two-ss-men-on-trial-over-auschwitz-killings-.aspx?pageID=238&nID=94934&NewsCatID=351 "Without these people and their active support for the Holocaust, what happened in Auschwitz, the murder of 1.1 million people in just a few years, would not have been possible, and perhaps many of my family members would still be alive," said Orosz, who was born in Auschwitz just over a month before it was liberated on January 27, 1945.
