Former Auschwitz guard Reinhold Hanning convicted

A 94-year-old former guard at the Auschwitz death camp has been sentenced to five years in jail.

Reinhold Hanning was found guilty of being an accessory to the murder of at least 170,000 people.
He was an SS guard at Auschwitz from 1942 to 1944. He has said he knew what was going on at the camp but did not act to stop it.
The Nazis killed about 1.1 million people - mostly Jews - at Auschwitz in occupied southern Poland.
The verdict came after a trial lasting nearly four months in the western German city of Detmold.
Observers said Hanning, in a wheelchair, remained silent and emotionless for much of the trial, avoiding eye contact with anyone in the courtroom.
It could be one of the last trials of Nazi officials involved in the Holocaust.
