Should WWII Nazi be deported?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The federal government wants to deport an 85-year-old Gwinnett County man accused of guarding people in concentration camps in Nazi Germany. Paul Henss admitted that he didn’t list his service in the SS when arriving in New York more than half a century ago. But, “I am not a war criminal”, he said in response to accusations by the federal government, which include training dogs to viciously attack escapees from such notorious concentration camps as Buchenwald and Dachau.
Do you accept the former SS member’s statement that “I didn’t know what they were doing with the people.” Should the government pursue this case?
