Milwaukee - Former Nazi Guard Loses Appeal

Milwaukee - A Caledonia man who served as a guard at Nazi concentration camps during World War II has lost his appeal, clearing the way for his deportation.
The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago upheld a ruling that said 81-year-old Josias Kumpf broke the law when he failed to disclose his work at the camps.
A federal judge earlier said Kumpf's citizenship should be revoked because it violated the Refugee Relief Act of 1953.
That law says people who have persecuted others are not allowed to enter the country. Kumpf came to the United States in 1956.
Kumpf contended he was forced into the SS and feared he would be killed if he left.
He stood guard at the perimeter of the Trawniki Training Camp in Nazi-occupied Poland and the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp near Berlin.
Kumpf said he never hurt or killed anyone.
