1921

Reinhold Hanning (28 December 1921 – 30 May 2017 ) was an SS guard at the Auschwitz concentration camp in occupied Poland.

During the Holocaust, he was an SS guard from early 1942 until June 1944.

Nearly one million Jews and tens of thousands of other victims were murdered at the death camp.

In 1964 he started his own business and retired in 1984.

2009

Until 2009, prosecutors were required to prove that an accused Nazi was responsible for killing a victim in order to obtain a conviction.

In the trial of John Demjanjuk, the defendant was found guilty even though he did not directly kill any of his victims, and was convicted of being an accessory to murders.

In court, Hanning said, "People were shot, gassed and burned. I could see how corpses were taken back and forth or moved out. I could smell the burning bodies."

During the trial, Hanning apologized for doing nothing to prevent the Holocaust atrocities he witnessed at Auschwitz saying "I am ashamed that I saw injustice and never did anything about it, and I apologize for my actions,” but denied the charges.

Hanning was sentenced to five years in prison.
