"Prosecutors have reopened hundreds of dormant investigations of former Nazi death camp guards and others who might now be charged under a new precedent set by the conviction of retired U.S. autoworker John Demjanjuk, The Associated Press has learned.
Given the advanced age of all of the suspects — the youngest are in their 80s — the head of the German prosecutors' office dedicated to investigating Nazi war crimes told the AP that authorities are not even waiting until the Demjanjuk appeals process is over.
"We don't want to wait too long, so we've already begun our investigations," prosecutor Kurt Schrimm said."
Hmmmm. I wonder why this such a priority all of a sudden. Is this related to Palestine's bid for statehood? Or some other story they want to bury from the public's eye?
