BERLIN – German police on Thursday raided the flat of an 88-year-old man suspected of having helped murder hundreds of thousands of Jews and others while a guard at the Nazi death camp Belzec, prosecutors said.

The man, named only as Samuel K., is suspected of having been a guard at the camp between in 1942 and 1943 and of personally shooting dead several Jews, prosecutors in the western German city of Dortmund said.

He admitted being a guard at Belzec in German-occupied Poland in World War II but he denied being personally involved in killing people, according to the statement. No incriminating material was recovered in the raid.   MORE>>>
