Authorities in Germany are investigating whether they can prosecute a former Nazi camp guard who has been living in the United States for 60 years, they said Monday.
Prosecutors are probing the case of Johann Breyer, who admits having been a guard at the notorious Auschwitz camp, where more than 1 million people, most of them Jews, were murdered during World War II.
Breyer, 87, says he was only a perimeter guard and did not persecute anyone, according to legal papers related to his battle to keep his American citizenship.
