US arrests alleged 89-year-old Auschwitz guard



An 89-year-old man has been arrested and denied bail in the United States for alleged war crimes as a teenage Nazi guard at Auschwitz. Johann Breyer, a retired machinist born in Czechoslovakia to a US mother, admits joining the SS aged 17 but denies being a guard at the concentration camp in German-occupied Poland. He emigrated to the United States after the Second World War got married and now has children and grandchildren.
