Retiree Accused of Nazi Complicity

The Justice Department accused a retired Connecticut machinist of serving as a guard at Nazi death camps and moved to revoke his citizenship. Walter Berezowskyj, 73, served in two SS units that participated in the Nazi campaign to annihilate Europe’s Jews, the government said in a complaint filed in federal court. When he sought to immigrate to the United States after World War II, Berezowskyj told U.S. officials he had spent the war working on farms, the government said. Interviewed at his modest two-story home in a New Haven suburb, Berezowskyj denied ever serving with the Nazis.
