POLISH prosecutors say they are reviewing files on a Minnesota man who was a commander in a Nazi-led unit to see if they contain enough evidence to press charges and request extradition from the US.
Michael Karkoc, 94, entered the US by lying to American authorities about his leadership role in the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion, which is accused of burning down villages in Poland during World War II. Karkoc was at the scene of the massacres, although no records link him directly to atrocities. Poland's National Remembrance Institute said yesterday prosecutors are looking for evidence that would justify charges against Karkoc.
