Nazi prison guard who lived in New York for decades dies at 95
(CNN)A former Nazi labor camp guard who lived in the United States for decades after World War II has died in Germany, local officials said.
Jakiw Palij, a prison guard at Trawniki Labor Camp in German-occupied Poland during the war, died on Wednesday aged 95.
Born in what was then Poland and is now Ukraine, Palij moved to the US in 1949 and spent decades living in Queens, New York City, before finally being deported to Germany in August 2018 after years of diplomatic wrangling.
