A 94-year-old former bookkeeper at Auschwitz has been sentenced to four years in prison in what could be one of the last big Holocaust trials.<br /><br /> Oskar Groening had been accused of being an accessory to the murder of 300,000 people, although he did not personally kill anybody.<br /><br /> He was 21, and by his own admission an enthusiastic Nazi, when he was sent to work at Auschwitz in 1942.<br /><br /> Groening who had been on trial since April told the German court that he was morally guilty but it must determine his guilt in legal terms.<br /><br /> Prosecutors argued that by sorting the banknotes from trainloads of arriving Jews he helped support the regime responsible for mass murder.<br /><br /> Earlier this month he said he stood before the victims with humility and remorse.<br /><br /> Bookkeeper of Auschwitz Oskar Groening, 94, sentenced to 4 years in prison http://t.co/QayENDvr1b pic.twitter.com/A9PfD9Jl8O— Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) July 15, 2015
