A | A 98-year-old man has been charged in Germany with being an accessory to murder as a guard at the Nazis' Sachsenhausen concentration camp between 1943 and 1945, prosecutors said Friday.The German citizen, a resident of Main-Kinzig county near Frankfurt, is accused of having "supported the cruel and malicious killing of thousands of prisoners as a member of the SS guard detail," prosecutors in Giessen said in a statement. They did not release the suspect's name.He is charged with more than 3,300 counts of being an accessory to murder between July 1943 and February 1945. The indictment was filed at the state court in Hanau, which will now have to decide whether to send the case to trial. If it does, he will be tried under juvenile law, taking account of his age at the time of the alleged crimes. Prosecutors said that a report by a psychiatric expert last October found that the suspect is fit to stand trial at least on a limited basis.More than 200,000 people were held at Sachsenhausen, just north of Berlin, between 1936 and 1945. Tens of thousands died of starvation, disease, forced labor, and other causes, as well as through medical experiments and systematic SS extermination operations including shootings, hangings and gassing.This undated file photo shows a roll call, in the early morning or late evening hours, in front of the camp gate of the Nazi concentration camp Sachsenhausen in Oranienburg on the outskirts of Berlin, Germany. STR / AP Exact numbers for those killed vary, with upper estimates of some 100,000, though scholars suggest figures of 40,000 to 50,000 are likely more accurate.
Law enables trials of surviving SS personnel
German prosecutors have brought several cases under a precedent set in recent years that allows for people who helped a Nazi camp function to be prosecuted as an accessory to the murders there without direct evidence that they participated in a specific killing.Charges of murder and being an accessory to murder aren't subject to a statute of limitations under German law.But given the advanced age of the accused, many trials have had to be cancelled for health reasons.Convictions also do not lead to actual imprisonment, with some defendants dying before they could even begin to serve their jail terms.
Among those found guilty in these late trials were Oskar Groening — a former Nazi death camp guard dubbed the "Accountant of Auschwitz" — and Reinhold Hanning, a former SS guard at the same camp.Both men were found guilty for complicity in mass murder at age 94 but died before they could be imprisoned.An 101-year-old ex-Nazi camp guard, Josef Schuetz was convicted last year, becoming the oldest so far to be put on trial for complicity.He died in April while awaiting the outcome of an appeal against his five-year jail sentence.And a 97-year-old former concentration camp secretary, Irmgard Furchner, became the first woman to be tried for Nazi crimes in decades in December 2022, the BBC reported. She was found guilty of complicity in the murders of more than 10,500 people at Stutthof camp, near the city of Danzig.AFP contributed to this report.
B | 海上除了“沙德尔”,昨天又多了一个新台风。北部湾上的南海热带低压,已于昨天17时升级为热带风暴,成为今年第19号台风,其中心位于距离广西北海市西南方向约120公里的海面上。未来,它可能继续增强,并在北部湾海面回旋少动。天气小科普为啥第19号台风暂时没名字?截至昨晚本报截稿,19号台风暂时还没有名字——要等日本气象厅编号后,才会命名为“紫檀”。这是为什么呢?2000年以前,因为没有统一的台风命名规则,大家都是各叫各的,听起来比较混乱,也不利于相互交流研判。1997年,世界气象组织(WMO)台风委员会第30次会议决定,中国、朝鲜、韩国、日本、密克罗尼西亚、美国以及东南亚各国等14个受台风影响的亚太地区成员国(地区)各自想10个台风名字,由此形成一张由140个名字组成的《台风命名表》,2000年起按序循环使用。谁来决定这个台风有没有冠名资格呢?世界气象组织决定挑选当时既地处热带气旋影响区域,同时又是业务“尖子生”的6个区域专责气象中心来负责这个事情,其中日本气象厅成了负责西北太平洋的区域专责气象中心,负责给在国际日期变更线以西的西北太平洋及南中国海上生成的热带气旋国际编号及命名。在考虑到某个热带低压可能给我国带来严重风雨影响时,即使日本气象厅暂未认定它为台风,中央气象台也会将它升格为台风,给它编号,同时发布台风预警,但没有正式名字。比如2018年的4号台风“艾云尼”,中央气象台就提前将它升格为1804号台风,一天之后日本气象厅才给了它“艾云尼”的名字。今年的19号台风也是类似情况。
