Ladislaus Csizsik-Csatary is accused of sending more than 15,000 Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp in the spring of 1944, the he Simon Wiesenthal Center said.

Any Nazi who participated in the holocaust should be held accountable for his actions. No excuses for them !!
I get offended when the holocaust is talked about as a jewish tragedy. Yes, 6 million jews were killed, but there were between 11 and 13 million victims. The other 5-7 million are never talked about, which is shameful to everyone. Few would even believe that the first people killed in Auschwitz were not even jewish
Stop treating the holocaust as JUST a jewish tragedy
Its no one's fault that the other groups don't mobilize. Do something about your outrage or don't say anything
Stop being an anti-semite.
You are offended by it, really? That's a silly statement and shows perhaps a bit too much of yourself here. The reason the Holocaust is often linked to the Jews has nothing to do with a lack of sympathy for the other victims, but that the Final Solution focused primarily on ridding the world of the "Jewish Problem." And many people know about the gypsies, gays, and christians that were put to death in the camps. What is perhaps ironic about your statement is that you're accusing people of forgetting the other victims of the Nazi rain, yet in another post, you subtly critiqued those who spend their lives hunting former SS and other prison guards. Is it the Jews that bother you, or is it the other victims? I suspect the former more than anything.
When I was a child ...a pubescent teen you know I fpund Nazi Germany so fascinating. Now everyone wants it to be such an ugly scarey cement brick thing to think about. I think that if we keep the fascination alive then we can continue to clean up the World like this article here says. I read The Diary of Anne Frank.
Neo-Nazis should be hunted and executed, and their deaths reported here.
They (the Hungarian Govt.) need to put him on trial as an example to the world that yes, we forgive, but we do not forget mass murder. If the Hungarians don’t put him on trial, I would be in favor of Israel sending in a crew to bring him to Israel to stand trial or if that isn’t possible, if the Hungarians would not cooperate, then the Israel should just, well "take him out'. I would be happy to pull the trigger; it would actually be my honor!
The problem wasn't prison guards. It was the system. Millgrams experiment and similar ones prove 99% of posters criticizing this guy would have done the exact same thing.
The solution isn't to execute 99% of people or people like 99% of people.
The solution is to elevate mankinds' level of compassion. Just executing more people after-the-fact will do nothing but kill more people.
to Jerry:
This is just stupid logic. The guards are, of course, responsible for the crimes committed in the camps. To suggest otherwise smells of bad education on your part. And compassion has everything to do with hunting down former guards – it is compassion for the women, children, and men who were tortured, killed, and humiliatingly buried in mass graves simply because they were Jews, gypsies, or gay. What about raising your compassion for the entirely lost generation of people?
The leaders were only successful because the guards didn't stand up for morality. Therefore, no one should stand up for them now – reformed or not.
How come no one ever talks about the JEWISH ROLE IN SLAVERY...!
Revelation 2:9 ESV / “‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan
Give it a rest old man in prison eye for an eye right
Blah, blah, blah, let the poor guy alone.
to Time Krell:
Okay, we'll leave him alone – us the morally "not insane crowd" will leave him alone. But we'll take you instead, no?
this will happen again and the jews will only have themselves to blame...again....greedy backsabbing low-life thieves throughiut history and they wonder why they are hated so much..so blind so ignorant..they learn nothing from there own history...AIPAC/israel=9/11
also did you watch low-life congress pledging their allegiance to the turd called israel giving them 9 billion US tax dollars....funny how these AIPAC pigs in congress can give Israel everthing israel begs for but when it comes to Americans they give us the finger..bunch of pigs..no wonder the pigs have a 9% approval rating...time to kick these anti-american dirtbags out of the U.S.
He should have taken advantage of operation paperclip when he had the chance and joined the American team.
Perpetrators of any holocaust should be pursued and punished, regardless of time expired. The same standard should be applied to perpetrators of ethnic cleansing crimes. Three israeli prime ministers – menachem begin, yitshak shamir, and ariel sharon, were elected to israel's highest office after they had personally been involved in murdering, and systematic terror/ethnic cleansing against Palestinian men, women, and children. WHERE WAS JUSTICE FOR THESE CRIMINALS ???
You know Hitler was not such a bad guy..I mean he did kill Hitler.
No free place 4 d evil one.Blood of the innocent shed avenged
You Said It all Jay.
What's the point now. The guy lived out the rest of his life doing what he wanted. He got away with it. Arresting an old man seems pointless as the stress of this experience will probably kill him anyways.
