U.S. Suit Targets Alleged Nazi Guard

The U.S. Justice Department filed suit in Philadelphia to strip a retired Pennsylvania mechanic of his citizenship on grounds he served as a Nazi SS guard at three concentration camps during World War II. The department alleged that Theodor Szehinskyj, born in Poland in 1924, was a guard at Gross-Rosen Concentration Camp, Warsaw Concentration Camp and Sachsenshausen Concentration Camp. Reached by telephone in Upper Darby, Pa., a man identifying himself as Szehinskyj said only that his lawyer would respond for him in court. Szehinskyj’s lawyer said the man denied the charges.
