And, Dey later told investigators, the carting of their lifeless bodies to the camp\u2019s crematorium was a daily sight.<\/p>\n<p>More than seven decades later, Dey went on trial Thursday on 5,230 counts of accessory to murder in Hamburg state court. Pushed into the courtroom in a wheelchair, accompanied by one of his daughters, the 93-year-old wore a wide-brimmed hat and held a red folder in front of his face to shield it from the cameras. &#8211; article<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2018\/11\/06\/664673163\/94-year-old-accused-in-concentration-camp-murders-goes-on-trial-in-germany\">https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2018\/11\/06\/664673163\/94-year-old-accused-in-concentration-camp-murders-goes-on-trial-in-germany<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Johann Rehbogen is charged with being an accessory in the murders of several hundred Jewish and Polish prisoners at the Stutthoff camp just east of the Gdansk, Poland, in the early 1940s. &#8220;He admits to having worked at the camp but denies knowing about any murders there,&#8221; NPR&#8217;s Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson reports from Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>Taking into consideration that the so-called media mavens, who think their crap doesn&#8217;t stink, do not have real control of anything, it&#8217;s a good time to remind everyone that Hitler did fully control the published news and that ordinary people who were not involved did not know about the camps. That is how he got away with it.<\/p>\n<p>Hitler targeted Jews first, and then anyone else in his way. Stalin targeted anyone who looked at him cross-eyed.<\/p>\n<p>When we were kids, my dad used to serve Sunday dinner at the table and unfortunately, he put adult-sized portions on our plates. If we didn&#8217;t clean our plates, he&#8217;d get mad at us. That went on until he said &#8220;People are starving to death in China&#8221;. Our response was &#8216;Then send this to them. We can&#8217;t eat all that.&#8221; I thought it was some kind of stupid joke for the longest time until I found out the hard way that it was true.\u00a0 Mao had a population of over 1 billion, and just did not give a crap if any of them starved to death. As a result, 30,000,000 Chinese citizens did starve to death.<\/p>\n<p>Never, ever take your freedom for granted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The effort track down and try guards at Nazi concentration camps has never stopped.
