Supreme Court Rejects Appeal of Nazi Guard
WASHINGTON - Former Nazi concentration camp guard Adam Friedrich lost a Supreme Court appeal over the government's decision to revoke his U.S. citizenship.
His attorney argued that he has led a model life since coming to the U.S. from Austria more than 50 years ago.
This means the government could begin proceedings to have him deported.
Friedrich is a retired St. Louis, Mo., clothing manufacturing worker. He has never been criminally charged and now lives in a nursing home.
He reported for duty as an armed guard in January 1943 at the Gross-Rosen concentration camp, according to court records, and about 1,500 of the camp's roughly 100,000 prisoners died during his first five months there.
