BERLIN — A former SS guard is going on trial next month in Germany on charges of accessory to murder for serving at the Nazis’ Stutthof concentration camp.
...

The 94-year-old, who hasn’t been identified due to German privacy laws, is being tried in juvenile court because he was under the age of 21 at the time of his alleged crimes, Dortmund prosecutor Andreas Brendel said Friday.
...

Though there is no specific evidence linking him to a specific crime at the camp, where more than 60,000 people were killed and prosecutors argue that as a guard, he was an accessory to at least hundreds of the deaths.
...

The suspect admits serving at Stutthof, but told investigators he was unaware of the killings and did not participate, Brendel said.

Prosecutors argue that participating in the Nazi machinery of destruction is itself enough to be found guilty of accessory to murder.​
