Justice for an ex-Nazi?
Re “A Nazi’s Day of Judgment,” Column One, July 12
As a refugee from Nazi Germany, I too am disturbed by your article on Josias Kumpf. But what disturbs me is not what this 19-year-old conscript may -- or may not -- have seen or done shortly after his arrival at the scene of the massacre; that is between him and his conscience.
What deeply disturbs me is that an American judge concluded that Kumpf’s mere presence at Trawniki meant he “personally advocated or assisted” in the massacre. Talk about fairness? Talk about justice? This is hypocrisy! This is insanity!
