    The Lueneburg state court said Tuesday that Oskar Groening’s trial needed to be extended in order to hear all the evidence while limiting the sessions to three hours at a time. Judges canceled Wednesday’s session after hearing testimony Tuesday from an expert witness.

    Two other sessions have already been canceled due to Groening’s health since the trial began last month.

    Groening is charged with 300,000 counts of accessory to murder on allegations he helped the death camp function in his job sorting cash and valuables seized from Jews

    Ask Herr Groening if the Nazis in Auschwitz cancelled anything due to any Jew’s poor health.

    Next time they start hassling you to sign documents ask if they can wait a few months because you feel weak. They still demand perfection from their former victims yet coddle their beloved nazi murderers.
