A German court has sentenced a 94-year-old former Nazi officer to four years in prison. Oskar Groening was found guilty of involvement in the murders of hundreds of thousands of people. The crimes took place at the Auschwitz death camp in Poland over a two month period.

Oskar Groening admitted “moral guilt” at the start of the trial. He worked in the death camp for several years, collecting and counting the belongings of the Jews as they arrived. The trial dealt only with a two month period in 1944 of his time at the camp.
