NAZI GUARD LOSES NATURALIZED CITIZENSHIP

A Slovakia-born man who served as an armed guard at the Nazi-operated Buchenwald concentration camp and Auschwitz death camp during World War II has lost his naturalized U.S. citizenship, the Justice Department said Wednesday.

But U.S. District Judge William Yohn Jr. of Philadelphia left open the possibility that Johann Breyer, a 68-year-old retired tool-and-die maker, could gain citizenship based on his mother's birth in the United States.

Breyer, who lives in Philadelphia, has admitted that he was a perimeter guard at both camps. - Associated Press
