A German court has found John Demjanjuk guilty of helping to murder more than 28,000 Jews at a Nazi death camp in World War II.
He was sentenced to five years in prison, one year less than prosecutors had asked for, but will be released pending a possible appeal.
Prosecutors said the Ukraine-born Demjanjuk, 91, was a guard at Sobibor camp in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1943.
He denied serving as a guard, saying he was a prisoner of war and a victim too.
Lawyers for Demjanjuk have said they will appeal against the conviction.
"The court is convinced that the defendant... served as a guard at Sobibor from 27 March 1943 to mid-September 1943," presiding Judge Ralph Alt said.
"As guard he took part in the murder of at least 28,000 people," he said.

You know I understand the premise behind going after these guys but at the same time just look at that guy he's 91 in a wheel chair barely moving. Remember human weakness to follow a group to follow a leader and the fact if they didn't go along with orders they'd be shot.
From what I've read they're saying this guy was different, not just an conscripted man. Look where he was born Ukraine, looks like he joined rather than conscription.
