Sutton, MA – An immigration judge has ordered the deportation of a 92-year-old retired factory worker because he lied about his part in the Nazi destruction of Warsaw's Jewish ghetto in 1943.

Immigration Judge Wayne R. Iskra ordered Vladas Zajanckauskas sent to his native Lithuania.
Zajanckauskas, denied he was in Warsaw at the time and said his service was limited to working the bar at the Nazi training camp in Trawniki, Poland.
But prosecutors said he was recruited into a Nazi guard unit and was on a Nazi roster as one of the officers leading "Trawniki men" deployed to help Nazi SS and police capture Jews in the Warsaw ghetto to be removed to death camps.
The judge noted that Zajanckauskas admitted that Trawniki men guarded Jews and Trawniki men also conducted house-to-house searches for hidden Jews.
The Nazis killed thousands and burned down the ghetto, street by street, after the Jews resisted attempts to deport them to death camps.
Zajanckauskas emigrated from Austria in 1950 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1956. Zajanckauskas said he never told immigration officials about his Trawniki service because it would jeopardize his chances of getting into the United States. [AP]
Now that’s justice. How many families, children, elderly, sick etc. jews did he displace. I hope that the last few years of this nazis life are just as miserable. Have fun packing your suitcase, oh and don’t forget to leave your keys with behind.
He must be a good buddy with John Dem(ented)janjuk. Just like Ivan Demjanjuk, he was in the other end of town when the killings were going on.
Poor innocent man. So what if Trawniki was a training camp for SS guards. He never touched a fly on the wall.
