I'm of Jewish ancestry, My roommate is very Jewish. I have met and talked with holocaust survivors on several occasions. If he is guilty of something than he should be punished. but after reading his full statement the only thing he is guilty of is lying to immigration when he moved to the USA. However if they find some evidence he did abuse prisoners than he should stand judgement, if not leave him alone. I think the shame on him and his family is enough punishment for lying to immigration. Also if his story is true someone should make it a movie, because it is an interesting perspective on that history. We all know about the horrors the civilians faced but often people forget the horrors that everyone faces in a totalitarian society.
Sure Hoss, and if Germany or some other interested party wants to Extradite him, I'm perfectly fine with that.
But if nobody has shown an interest in him and he's achieved citizenship legally, leave him be.
He's not being charged with anything according to any source I've seen, some people just want him gone because of who he was over sixty years ago.
a little while ago they did the same to a guy that was 110 years old
“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
He's lived in the U.S. for all these years, probably as a pretty decent citizen and now they want to deport him? Yes what Hitler did was terrible, but the last time I checked that dude was long dead.
Let the man stay and live out the rest of his life in peace. Aren't there more important issues the tax payers money should be used for?
