Justice Department Seeks Removal of Pittsburgh-Area Man Who Served as Nazi Concentration Camp Guard
WASHINGTON, April 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Department of Justice has initiated removal proceedings against a Sharon, Penn., resident who served as an armed SS guard at two Nazi concentration camps in Germany during World War II.
The charging document, filed April 1, 2009, in U.S. Immigration Court in Philadelphia by the Criminal Division's Office of Special Investigations (OSI) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) alleges that during most of 1943 Anton Geiser served as an armed SS Death's Head guard at the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp near Berlin, Germany; that Geiser's duties included escorting prisoners to slave labor sites and standing guard from the camp's watch towers; and that he was under orders to shoot any prisoner attempting escape. The court document also alleges that Geiser served as a guard at the Buchenwald Concentration Camp and the Arolsen subcamp. In addition, the court document charges that Geiser guarded prisoners as they were transported from Buchenwald to Arolsen and as they were evacuated from Arolsen as Allied forces approached.
