ACCUSED NAZI STRIPPED OF US CITIZENSHIP Alleged Nazi Bronislaw Hajda, a 73 year old retired factory worker in Schiller Park, Illinois has lost a second court battle to retain his US citizenship and now appears more likely than ever to be deported. The US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, the court immediately below the US Supreme Court, affirmed a lower court decision to revoke Hajda's citizenship. The lower court found that Hajda served as an armed guard at SS Training Camp Trawniki and the Treblinka labor camp in Poland. The judge found that Hajda participated in a July 1944 massacre of hundreds of Jewish prisoners at Treblinka and guarded Polish slave laborers forced to build fortifications against the Russian advance. The court further found that Hajda concealed these activities when applying to immigrate to the US after the Second World War. The concealment of the events is enough to cause a person to be denaturalized and deported. The US Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations is currently investigating 300 other cases of alleged Nazis who were granted US citizenship.
