Ex-Nazi Death Camp Guard Deported
Anton Geiser Moved to PA in 1956
A judge has ordered that a Sharon, PA, man be deported to Austria for serving as an armed guard at Nazi death camps during World War II.
85-year-old Anton Geiser was born in what is now part of Croatia, and came to the United States from Austria in 1956. Gieser’s US citizenship was revoked in 2006 after he admitted that when he was a guard at a camp near Berlin in 1943, he escorted forced laborers to and from work sites, guarded prisoners from an SS watch tower and was under standing orders to shoot any prisoner attempting to escape.
Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer says, “As a Nazi concentration camp guard during World War II, Anton Geiser must be held to account for his role in the persecution of countless men, women and children.”
