    Friedrich Berger: Nazi Concentration Camp Guard Deported From Tennessee

    Friedrich Karl Berger is a 95-year-old man who has been deported from Tennessee to Germany after authorities learned he had served as a Nazi concentration camp armed guard during World War II. Berger was 19 when he was a guard at the Neuengamme Concentration Camp System, the Department of Justice says. Berger, who has German citizenship, was deported on February 20, 2021.


    According to the Department of Justice, Berger is the 70th Nazi persecutor deported from the United States. Berger’s past as a Nazi guard was uncovered when an index card was located in a sunken ship in the Baltic Sea, The Washington Post reports. Berger was known by the name Fritz Berger in the U.S.


    “We are committed to ensuring the United States will not serve as a safe haven for human rights violators and war criminals,” Acting ICE Director Tae Johnson said in a statement. “We will never cease to pursue those who persecute others. This case exemplifies the steadfast dedication of both ICE and the Department of Justice to pursue justice and to hunt relentlessly for those who participated in one of history’s greatest atrocities, no matter how long it takes.”
