Auschwitz accountant gets four years for working at death camp

A 94-year-old former bookkeeper at Auschwitz has been sentenced to four years in prison in what could be one of the last big Holocaust trials. Oskar Groening had been accused of being an accessory to the murder of 300,000 people, although he did not personally kill anybody. He was 21, and by his own admission an enthusiastic Nazi, when he was sent to work at Auschwitz in 1942.
