Philadelphia Nazi guard ordered deported to Slovakia
A 72-year-old former guard at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, Johann Breyer of Philadelphia, was ordered deported to Slovakia. U.S. Immigration Judge Craig DeBernardis ruled his Waffen-SS service makes him ineligible to immigrate. Breyer admitted guarding perimeters and escorting slave laborers but claimed coercion and denied being a Nazi. The Justice Department cites about 500,000 deaths at Auschwitz during his tenure in 1944.
