Hans Lipschis (born November 7, 1919) is a former member of the Waffen-SS who worked at Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center alleges that he was a guard and listed him in fourth place on their most wanted list.[3] At the age of 93, Lipschis was arrested on 6 May 2013 for being complicit in murder.[4] He claims that although he worked at Auschwitz, he was only a cook.[5] He was found to be unfit for trial in December 2013 and March 2014.[6][7] The prosecution from Stuttgart, Germany, has created virtual Auschwitz to reveal what was visible from watchtowers. To secure convictions, the prosecutors are using a mixture of testimonies and archived paperwork alongside modern techniques, including 3D modeling.[8] [9] [10]
Lipschis was born Antanas Lipšys in Lithuania in 1919 to a Protestant family.[11][12][13] In the 1950s he immigrated to Chicago in the United States, but was deported in 1983 for "lying about his Nazi past".[14] At the time of his arrest, Lipschis lived in an apartment in the southwestern German town of Aalen.[15]
