BERLIN - The prosecution's closing arguments will be heard on Monday in the trial of a 93-year-old former Nazi concentration camp guard for complicity in the murder of more than 5,000 people during World War II.

His defence has insisted that he did not join the SS voluntarily before serving at the camp from August 1944 to April 1945, ending up assigned there because a heart condition excluded him from frontline service. Dey acknowledged last year that he had been aware of the camp's gas chambers and admitted seeing"emaciated figures, people who had suffered", but insisted he was not guilty.But it ended up holding 110,000 detainees, including many Jews. Some 65,000 people perished in the camp.Married with two daughters, he supplemented his income by working as a truck driver, before later taking on a job in building maintenance.
