Racist

The Resume

    (September 26, 1920-July 5, 2018)
    Born in Poland
    Nazi medic
    Joined the Waffen S.S. (1939)
    Worked at several Nazi concentration camps during World War II
    Sentenced to four years in prison on war crimes charges (1948)
    Rearrested and charged with 3,861 counts of accessory to murder (2016)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was in the Hitler Youth.
    He trained as a medic in the Dachau camp.
    He spent a month working the railways at Auschwitz processing Jews off of the cattle cars (among the most famous Anne Frank and her family).
    After a brief prison stint, he spent the next six decades living in comfortable anonymity before being reinvestigated by German federal prosecutors in 2013.
    As a death camp medic, he would have assisted Josef Mengele in the infamous 'selections,' which determed whether prisoners would be kept alive for slave labor or be sent to the gas chambers.
    He didn't try to deny his role at Auschwitz but feigned ignorance, pleading: 'I heard nothing, saw nothing, killed no one' (gee, that's original).
    His trial was suspended multiple times, due to lawmakers citing his failing health.
    Three judges responsible for repeatedly delaying the trial were removed after multiple complaints of bias (2017).
    After two examinations, in 2017, his case was dropped, with prosecutors stated that 'the defendant is no longer able to reasonably reassess his interests' (he died a year later).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He suffered from Alzheimers/dementia.
    He did not commit suicide after his intiial arrest or flee to South America to evade capture, like many of his Nazi peers.
    He provided further living proof that Anne Frank's story was not an elaborate hoax.
    He is dead.
