A man who authorities believe is the last known Nazi collaborator living in the U.S. has been arrested and deported to Germany. At the order of President Donald Trump, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents removed 95-year-old Jakiw Palij from his Queens, New York, home on Monday. Justice Department officials say Palij served as an armed guard at a death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland and later lied to American immigration officials about his role in those atrocities when he entered the U.S. after the war.....https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/nazi-labor-camp-guard-arrested-ice-deported-germany/story?id=57288410
Not a very German sounding name.
Well. That'll show him after 73 years.
No statute of limitations on murder or war crimes. Justice will catch up to you, you can't just hope to wait it out.
LOL. What justice? You read the story? We are shipping him to Germany where they don't know what to do with him. He is going to sit in some hotel room over there till he dies. Big whoop.
"Despite a court ordering his deportation in 2004, past administrations were unsuccessful in removing Palij.
Polish.
Most of this fellow's detractors, have not worn a uniform, or faced war.The Germans offered Poles and Jews themselves, a chance to survive, by being guards or dying themselves.I think many keyboard talkers, would have saved themselves.
Ukrainian. No Poles served as guards in the camps.
You're right. The Poles were used to hold the tents up in the camps.
Why?
If there is a "z" in the name, it's often Polish, this is a rule-of-thumb used, it's not true all the time but would be often. President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, so the first name in this case.
Probably because there's no proof he actually committed any crime. I figure it this way - as unpopular as an opinion as it may be - if the men who actually fought and died at the hand of the Nazis and saw the atrocities they committed first hand did not see fit to prosecute conscripts who weren't directly implicated in any war crimes why should we?BTW same goes for the Japanese military - among whom many more war criminals got away with murder than did their axis partners.
Some people will say such as this guy and it's just the press that is running with "he's the last of the Nazis" but will say because he is in his 90s, they should leave him alone. They have known about him since about 2002, so then, he must have been around 78 years old. Of course, Ukraine was never among the axis powers.
... Of course, Ukraine was never among the axis powers.
Technically, we do have proof he committed a crime of lying on his entrance paperwork (about being in the SS) so with that alone, it qualifies him as an illegal immigrant and subject to deportation. He now will be tried for war crimes to the country he is being deported to.Unless of course, these aren't the illegals we want to kick out? Hmmmm...
