Concentration Camps: Laszlo Csatary

Csatary "wilfully assisted in the unlawful execution and torture of the Jews deported from Kosice to concentration camps in territories occupied by the Germans," the prosecution said in a statement and BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Hungarian prosecutors on Tuesday charged a 98-year-old former police officer, who was stripped of his Canadian citizenship, with torturing Jews and assisting in their deportation to Nazi death camps. He is accused of beating and whipping his victims, and of refusing to allow ventilation holes to be cut into the walls of a railcar crammed with 80 Jews being deported. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
