wasn't responsible for the killings that took place there the trial is likely to be one of the last of those involved in the holocaust. we're joined now by our political correspondent thomas sparrow for more thomas what's the political significance of this verdict there as you mentioned already one of the key elements of this verdict the fact that this is one of probably the last cases of the type that we're going to see in germany bruno he was 17 at the time and that's why this took place after that a youth court one of the key elements is again his age now the fact that this is one of the last cases of the type but there are more elements that explain why this is important it has to do with a 2011 a verdict in a separate case that was seen as a precedent back then that old german prosecutors were actually focused on trying to find concrete evidence attached to specific crimes and that through 1011 verdict showed that you could also convict people as accessory to murder and nazi crimes

basically as being part of the nazi machine and this is what happened right now in this case as well there's lots more to talk about thomas but 1st let's have a quick look at who bruno de is and the crimes he has been convicted of. these conviction is for crimes that took place here at the foremost to atone of concentration camp near good then skin want is now poland it's estimated that around $65000.00 people were murdered here in a gas chamber or by shooting through disease and exhaustion. camp records show bruno de was a good at home from august 944 to april 945 he's turned to keep watch to prevent inmates attempting to flee. because he was just 17 years old when he started work at the trial has been held in a youth court bruno de said he was not guilty that he was too young and

insignificant to disobey orders and that he was not aware of the killings but the judges disagreed they found that he did have a role in the deaths of more than 5000 people justice in this case has come very late and many will wonder why so few similar cases of going to trial during the 7 and a half decades since the end of the 2nd world war. thomas sparrows turn with us thomas why are these trials still happening so many years later and why haven't we seen more of them. that germany took too long to react too long to come to terms with that past and it has been indeed a very difficult process here in germany how the country grips with the with its past that reckoning with the past has been a difficult sometimes very painful process and one of the reasons has to do with the what i mentioned already that 2011 verdict with change the way that german

prosecutors dealt with these kinds of issues since then there have been a few more cases german media reporting for example that there are i think there are around 30 cases similar cases now under way but this just shows how difficult the process has been in germany in the last few decades but also how important it is also for the future this is not only about trying to understand the past it's also about trying to send a message because it's becoming more important than ever also given current developments here in germany to try understand what happened in the past and how it can be prevented in the future as well thomas prado thank you very much for. now to some of the other stories making news around the world european lawmakers are scrutinizing the e.u.'s historic 750000000000 euro coronavirus recovery plan and parliament today they will have a final vote on the plan later this year it is the 1st joint borrowing project ever agreed by members of. the european union's chief negotiators is
