A court in Germany is due to announce its verdict today in the trial of a former guard at the Auschwitz concentration camp in Nazi occupied Poland. Reinhold Hanning, who’s 94, is accused of being an accessory to the murder of 170 000 people. Jane Hill reports. “Prosecutors claim Hanning met Jewish prisoners as they arrived at Auschwitz and may have escorted some of them to the gas chamber. There’s no evidence that he killed anyone.

If he’s found guilty, he’s unlikely to serve a prison sentence because of his age and frailty.” Jane Hill reporting.
