At 101 years old, 5 years in prison is effectively a life sentence.

Part of the sentence should be him not being able to hide his face in court

gregbillings

Wow it only took 70 years to charge someone!
He lived his life while others that have been murdered and their families suffer for generations to come
This is NOT justice

Bruh he’s 101 years old. It’s not like sending him to jail is much punishment, there’s not really a lot of life to deprive him of anymore. Better than not punishing him at all I guess.

He'll be 106 years young when he gets out. Too bad he got away for so long.

No one is going to forget about it. It’s a solid part of history and also can be a good way to learn about other topics

He is reading an Applebees' menu because he heard them say "order in the court."

101 years he hasn’t forgotten and nor have we, never forget, every day in that camp should be remembered

Does anyone believe that he was able to conceal his past for SO long without help? SHAME!

hopefulskeptic

they can`t really expect him to get a higher sentence than that. Bro is Legit 101 years old and nearly a master murderer

Why would you give any prison time to a man that doesn't have much time left to live? 5 years to a 101 year old man who will probably die within 5 hours after entering prison.

Wow. They're protecting his identity and they allowed him to live a full life. Wow

He was in the military at the time . He was a guard doing what he was told to do. If he did not do as told he would have been in the gas chambers as well. Not only Jewish people were condemned to death but Russians, German or whoever didn’t agree with the regime. After all these years how does this make this right? How do we forgive and have compassion?

I don’t know how I feel about this. At 101 years old how much does he even remember? Is he cognitive of even who he is now? Can he recognize family members? I don’t know too many people over the age of 80 or 90 who are all there in the head. Once people hit 100 years old they have about a 40% chance of having Alzheimer’s and about a 30% chance of having dementia. Throwing 101-year-old feeble man in a wheelchair into the prison system who may or may not have all his marbles it’s hard to watch. On the other hand, he was a bad man 70 years ago. I just hope he understands what’s going on around him.
