- A 100-year-old man is standing trial for crimes he allegedly committed as an SS Guard at a Nazi concentraion camp during World War II. Due to privacy laws, he’s only being identified as Josef S. He’s charged with more than 3,500 counts of accessory to murder for the deaths of prisoners at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp between 1942 and 1945. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more. #news
A life sentence isn’t that much of a threat when you’re over 100.
Look at Queen Elizabeth 😭😭😭
It kinda is, just means you won't be spending your final moments at home with your family and that you will die in some cell with a stranger.
@@turtle-kl7ur They wouldn’t put this man in a cell with anyone. At best he will be in a nursing ward of a prison which is full of other older inmates who cannot be in general population.
Dont care if it's for few minutes in jail.. at his age it's the principal and dignity that has been strip away from him, it is knowing you didnt get away with it and will die in prison.
Ikr he already lived his life smdh
Any sentence you give him is life.
yep. XD

Life sentence to someone who is 100 years old?
That’s legit basically 2-5 years of prison for him.
Even 5 months isnt enough, he is probably dead before even getting released
He won't face any real punishment. That's not the First one of those trials. They will basically Release him after Telling him what his punishment would be and what a horrible human being he is.
😁
No. Torture is in order here.
Make him listen to Barry Manilow's _'Ready To Take A Chance Again'_ ... that's enough to drive anyone to commit suicide.
More like 60 days probation
Those 3500 people he aided in murdering didn’t get the chance to live a full life of 100 years like he did. His age isn’t an excuse to not face justice.
Your absolutely right
Haha sure and the concept of justice?
What more can he do at this age...that's punishment in itself. But for documentation purposes, he should be questioned.
You must be a definition of a square. Then, why is there a privacy law? He is ready to go to a nursery home. If he had not follow order, then he would have been killed himself.

Not an excuse. Specially when you consider there were lots of other people who DID NOT become monsters just to survive. There were even some who put their own lives at risk just to stick to their principles and help others.

Facts bro.
I don’t understand how anyone could even call this justice. What’s the point in sentencing a man who has no time left?
Any remaining time he spends breathing should be spent in jail or struggling with the decisions and choices he made which resulted in the death of so many innocent people. You obviously have no one closely effected by this or clearly the faintest idea of the horrors that those people suffered, any justice is something at this point.
@@AllansTravels_ The question should be why they waited so long to prosecute the dude. He's going to be dead soon, so there's no point.
@@masteranimation2008 these procedures take a while, especially considering how long ago it happened
@@AllansTravels_ you think jail is the only place for self reflection? You think that man has lived a single day of his life not thinking about what he did? Any justice is something at this point? Lol justice for who? Almost everyone from that time is dead already.
Just a wake-up call, you can live to 127. So he has a chance to live another 20 years. Take that away and give justice to the people he tortured and killed.
I don’t get it, even if he only have couple of years or seconds to reach death door, doesn’t mean he can get away scotfree.
Like imagine not punishing the most vile and cruel murderer just because he has cancer.
@bo vermouth not all soldiers were forced as in that time frame ppl had a lot of views (based on religion, belief, gender, sexuality & race). IF he is innocent and there's proof, he porbably wouldnt be arrested in the case tho if the opposite did happen then he desreves it.

Either way. There is no defense. He murdered thousands of people. He has no defense whether he remembers or not
@@kshcaptain710 most people don't get alzheimers find a better argument please
The murders during the 2nd world war were horrific but putting a 100 year old on trial for crimes he was forced in to is inhumane
Im glad someone looks at it that way.
I agree
You have to remember that he was forced. I’m sure if you were put in the same situation you’d want to live too. “Shoot these people, or die”
What was inhuman is the fact that those death camps were even a thing
@@tacoking3555 So very true
A 100 years old electrician? Now that's impressive.
Superior race
I’m sorry but this is dumb ain’t no way he’s going to pay for his actions 🤦🏼♀️
I’m Jewish and I know a lot about the Holocaust so don’t say I’m being anti-Semitic or something ,but he’s 100. Like what??
Because it dosent matter what age he is the people he murderd has not got to live to be 100 years old he need to pay for his crimes. And i also think is the germens fault that he is still alive and not in prison.
@@simpleplangirl26 the government told him to do it , now they're punishing him for , like bruh talks about the biggest sike moment
that didnt stop people like him killing 100 year olds
@@personperson3542 He didnt kill, just stood and watch, and for that hes being jailed.
If he killed your wife or parents, you would want justice regardless of his age
He lived his life to fullest while the victim hunt by nigthmare in their entire life..
Looks like me in the 3rd grade when I didn’t want the teacher to call on me.
Mans deadass taking a test in school.
Just hearing that man's voice crack when said he's waited 80 years for justice for the murder of his father...
Cry, propaganda lol
Being 100 years old and prosecuted really isn’t a punishment. His actions 70/80 years ago were horrible, but allow nature to do its thing.
What about with the Golden state killer? Do you think he should be let go too?
Age shouldn’t matter, he should pay with whatever life he has for the atrocities he has committed, might not be enough punishment, but it is better than nothing.
@@C-64 He may have committed those crimes but just think what would have happened to him if he wouldn’t have… And it was viewed as “correct” by the government at that period in time
@@topflight4382 you’re right, perhaps it can be argued he was forced into doing those things
How do you know his actions were horrible ? He hasn't been found guilty yet
@@billfaecowden3363I said he may have, implying that he could’ve but he may not have. Only time will tell
Damn, Germany will stretch back 80 years to prosecute while USA has amnesia to wrong-doing in 8 days.
Imagine living that long thinking you've escaped the consequences of your war crimes, only to finally get caught right near the end of your life.
If he wanted the job out of hate it's much different then if he was basically forced knowing refusal to comply would cost him his life.
I would rather die than guard innocent people before they were executed
The SS was separate from the military, and, until the end of the war, voluntary. The fact he’s on trial means he wasn’t conscripted. He was involved in the holocaust because he wanted to be. Edit: IIRC conscripts aren't prosecuted because they were forced into service.
@@kellysanchez2629 okay Kelly sure you would I love when people think so confidently they would be hero’s yet have never faced any actual moral situation where you have to put your own life on the line
At the time he enlisted being SS was purely voluntary. He CHOSE to do it. Sucks to suck.
@@bigg4874 I'm an Iraqi war vet knucklehead. I almost didn't come home 2 times over there.
Doesn't matter his age. He still should face justice for what he did.
Bro he killed ppl in a world war, how u think is gonna happend to him after his country have agreed world peace
u know many of them got forced? alot of them didnt want to do it, i bet u would do it if ur family and friends was on the line
The guy is 100 years old for Christ sake I don’t even think he’s able to live in prison. And if he does, doubt it’s any different then a elderly home.
@@jonad445 There was nothing stopping him from confessing after he was free he got to live over 70 years of free able bodied man. Idk if he was forced to do something he didn't want to do. We don't know anything about him because we're not getting any information. Maybe he did confess and they said don't worry about it who knows.
@@flameOlameO in concentration camps dude, he was an ss guard
He’s a coward for hiding his face just like he’s a coward for committing all those horrible acts. Everyone should see the face of real evil.
Drink the koolaid
They first need to prove he is guilty and even innocent people would hide thier face because radicals would come look for the guy just because they think he is guilty even if he was innocent so before calling a coward they need to find him guilty
We could have asked him questions about his perspective of WWII to possibly get some more info instead of *wasting our time trialing someone who is almost dead*
That's illegal in Germany
Me if I was dumb
At this age after living his whole life, prison or death is no more a problem for him, it's too late for the trial at this point of time because even death seems to be joke when one already lived his whole life till 100.
They found the golden state killer when he was in his 70's. You think they should just say ahh yea that was a while ago who cares he's old. I'm sure the victim's families will disagree with you.
@@jhandle900 ummm he’s not 70 he’s 100, stop making up a completely different age to make a point.
@@jhandle900 hes quite a bit older clown he lived more than a full life and he probably gonna die within a month of prison that's not justice
@@kendawyatt673 ummm go back and re read that sentence! Maybe you just too stupid to grasp what he was saying 🤷
@@setalight7290 but that’s his point. Most people don’t live to be 100. Most people die before 80. This technically is very similar because both will die in jail.
Antoine looks absolutely heartbroken talking about his father's death i can see the pain he went through i feel so so bad for him may his father's soul rest in peace
Was his Father killed by this very guard?? Or killed in the camp?
@@lenitaa7938 just at the camp
His father never died
Crazy how current events mirror the start of what happened back then. History aways repeats itself
What does this minick? Explain I wanna be educated
This is sick and evil. Leave the poor man alone.
Doctor: you only have 3 years to live
Lawyer: life sentence
Him: Hmm
it's sick how they can say anyone on the enemy side is automatically guilty simply by association, that's like saying you're guilty until proven innocent. There is no justice here just revenge, it's sick.
True they always proclaim that they did something when in fact it hard to say more when they're isn't much evidence. It not like we have time machines and can monitor they're past behaviors 🤯
Disagree it's like racketeering but in this case accessory to 3500 murders

He killed 3500 people. They didn't get to live to 100. He can live another 20 years. Age doesn't stop true justice.

The dude was following the government's orders now the government is punishing him for that lol
I am disappointed that he was able to live a full life of freedom, something he ripped away from his victims. But at least justice finally caught up with him.
“Freedom.”
Germany doesn’t have freedom, they have fun. There is a difference.
@@adunce.5422 I meant freedom in the sense that he was not incarcerated. He was free to live his life as he saw fit.
You think he was glad to kill people?....it may have been as simple as listening to his government and supervisors at the time.....you must work in this world or starve.

Yes
Man here I was thinking the character was based off a real person
He was told what to do as a soldier PEROID. He shouldn't have to personally face these criminal charges when that was the commonplace policy when you served back then.
The guy should be treated as a War hero and should be tapped into government money.. rewarded for the rest of his life!
He was most likely forced to do it and now they killing him for it
What justice is their in killing an old man thats like shooting a baby for its toy
