MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The revelation that a former commander of a Nazi SS-led military unit has lived quietly in Minneapolis for the past six decades came as a shock to those who know 94-year-old Michael Karkoc. World War II survivors in both the U.S. and Europe harshly condemned the news and prosecutors in Poland have said they'll investigate. An Associated Press investigation found that Karkoc served as a top commander in the Ukrainian Self-Defense Legion during World War II. The unit is accused of wartime atrocities, including the burning of villages filled with women and children. Though records do not show that Karkoc had a direct hand in war crimes, statements from men in his unit and other documentation confirm the Ukrainian company he commanded massacred civilians, and suggest that Karkoc was at the scene of these atrocities as the company leader. Nazi SS files say he and his unit were also involved in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, in which the Nazis brutally suppressed a Polish rebellion against German occupation. http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20130615/EU--Germany-US-Nazi.Commander/ |

No statute of limitations on murder or war crimes, anywhere, is there? At 94, he'll soon be judged the Almighty anyway. |

You know what? After all this time has passed I really don't care. Let God sort it all out. |

I can see where prosecuting him would be very important to anyone still alive who'd survived at his hands, or at the hands of any of the Nazis. That's why I said I don't think this every goes away. So, if he's who he's supposed to be, let's prosecute him. Put the period at the end of the sentence. I don't think survivors will get the release & relief they expect, but only time would tell. |

I'm not insensitive to the desire or need for justice but even if he did it so much time that has passed that there can't be justice. How can there be justice for the victims when the alleged perpetrator got to live another 70+ years after the crime and will probably die before he can be brought to trial? That's why I said "let God sort it all out."
