Demonstrators protest outside NYC home of former Nazi guard
NEW YORK (AP) — A crowd of teens from an Orthodox Jewish school demonstrated Thursday outside the New York City home of a former Nazi concentration camp guard who was ordered deported 13 years ago, but remains in the U.S. because several nations declined to accept him.
Students from Rambam Mesivta stood across the street from the Queens home of 94-year-old Jakiw Palij on the 79th anniversary of Kristallnacht, when Nazis in Germany violently attacked Jews and destroyed their communities. He did not come out as they shouted "Your neighbor is a Nazi."
