Connections: Nuremberg's Legacies--Due Thurs/Friday!

The article, "86 Year Old SS Killer Faces Murder Charges" reports on what could be the last war criminal  trial to take place in Germany. In this case, an elderly SS soldier might be put on trial for shooting three unarmed Dutch civilians in 1994. 

Efriam Zuroff, the director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Jersusalem says " The passage of time in no way diminishes the guilt of the perpetrator. If you were to set a chronological limit on prosecution we would be saying you could get away with genocide, which is morally outrageous". Do you agree with Zuroff's argument? What is the point of prosecuting an 86 year old man for crimes committed when he was 33 years old?
