In the process of the mass killings in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, a police officer is supposed to testify today about the investigation against the accused. According to the indictment, the 100-year-old was alleged to have assisted the murder of thousands of camp inmates as a security guard for the SS between 1942 and 1945 in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin. The defendant had denied the allegations on the second day of the trial.
Brandenburg / Havel - The officer wanted to explain to the court how the defendant was identified as a former security guard at the concentration camp, said court spokeswoman Iris le Claire.
Another police officer is to be heard in the investigation on Friday.
On November 4, the testimony of a survivor of the concentration camp from Israel is expected, said le Claire.
For the trial before the Neuruppin Regional Court, which for organizational reasons takes place in a sports hall in Brandenburg / Havel, a total of 22 trial days are planned until January 7th.
