Former Nazi Guard Admits Auschwitz Killings at Trial
In Frankfurt West Germany a former Gestapo guard testifies he fired at inmates and helped push people into gas chambers at Auschwitz. Hans Stark, 42, says he shot four or five people and helped herd victims into Zyklon B gas vents. He recalls being ordered to continue after his chief halted shootings. He joined the Gestapo at 16 and insists he cannot remember exact numbers, but describes the routine mass murder and gas chamber gassing in stark, restrained detail.
