Germany - Nazi guards probed

German justice officials say 30 former Nazi guards should face prosecution for facilitating mass murder at the Auschwitz death camp during World War II.

The Nazis killed 1.5 million people at Auschwitz in occupied Poland between 1940 and 1945. Seven decades on, the hunt is no longer focused on high-level perpetrators of the Holocaust but on bringing to justice thousands of people managed the Nazis’ death machine.

The justice agency in the town of Ludwigsburg, which heads the Nazi war crimes probes, on Tuesday said 40 former guards from Auschwitz, the largest death camp, were still alive, 30 living in Germany.
