EX-NAZI CAMP GUARD ALLOWED TO STAY IN U.S.

The Justice Department said Thursday it will allow a man who admitted being a Nazi SS guard at a concentration camp during World War II to remain in the United States because of his rapidly declining health.

Wednesday, an immigration judge ordered the deportation of Albert Ensin, 68, of Stoughton, Mass., after he admitted at a hearing that he was an SS guard at Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp between 1941 and 1943. But the Justice Department said it will allow Ensin, who suffered a series of debilitating strokes, to stay.

At the deportation hearing before a U.S. Immigration Court judge in Boston, Ensin also admitted that he participated in the mass persecution of concentration camp inmates. - Associated Press
