Internment Camp: Laszlo Csatary

Laszlo Csatary: They said Laszlo Csatary was the chief of an internment camp for 12,000 Jews at a brick factory in Kosice a Slovak city then part of Hungary in May 1944, and that he beat them with his bare hands and a dog whip, according to CBC. With his actions, Csatary "willfully 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 Hungarian prosecutors indicted a 98-year-old former police officer Tuesday for abusing Jews and assisting in their deportation to Nazi death camps during World War II. He also allegedly refused to allow ventilation holes to be cut into the walls of a railcar crammed with 80 Jews being deported. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
