DISORDER.
DISORDER. GOOD EVENING.
GOOD EVENING. WE BEGIN WITH JUSTICE.
THIS IS JUSTICE DELAYED FOR 86
YEARS THAT HAS FINALLY COME.
A NAZI GUARD IN A CONCENTRATION
CAMP HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF
5232 COUNTS OF ACCESSORY TO
MURDER.
MURDER.
MURDER. A
MURDER. A SURVIVOR OF THAT CAMP WAS A
WITNESS TO THAT GUARD HORRORS.
HER TESTIMONY WAS PART OF THE
EVIDENCE TO CONVICT HIM.
HER NAME IS JUDY.
2 YEARS AGO, SHE TOLD ME HER
STORY.
STORY.
STORY. TONIGHT, HER GRANDSON SHARES
THE NEXT CHAPTER OF THIS
HISTORIC CONVICTION.>>
HISTORIC CONVICTION.>> Reporter: JUDY WAS 14 YEARS OLD
WHEN SHE AND HER FAMILY WERE
STOLEN FROM THE LIVES THEY
LIVED AND IMPRISONED IN THIS
CONCENTRATION CAMP.
CONCENTRATION CAMP. SHE WAS THERE WITH HER SISTER
AND HER MOTHER.
A MOTHER THAT TOLD HER THEN, IN
THAT CAMP --
>> WE GOT TO LIVE NOW, DAY BY
DAY.
DAY.
DAY. >>
DAY. >> Reporter: IT WOULD ONLY BE A
MATTER OF DAYS BACK THEN, IN
1944 THAT SHE WOULD BE BY HER
MOTHER'S SIDE.
MOTHER'S SIDE. ON A NOVEMBER DAY, THAT YEAR,
THEY TOOK HER MOTHER.
>> IS IT WHERE YOU GOING?
SHE SAID I DON'T KNOW.
I SAID I WANT TO GO WITH YOU.
SHE TOOK MY HAND, AND WE WENT.
WE WENT IN THE GAS CHAMBER.>>
Reporter: SHE DID RUN WITH HER
SISTER.
SISTER.
SISTER. EVENTUALLY, SHE GOT FREEDOM.
ONE OF 65,000 MURDERED IN THAT
CAMP WAS HER MOTHER.
FOR DECADES AFTER THAT, JUDY
DID FULFILL A PROMISE THAT SHE
MADE IN THE BARRACKS OF THAT
CAMP, THAT IF SHE SURVIVED, SHE
WOULD TELL THE STORY OF WHAT
HAPPENED THERE.
HAPPENED THERE. >> I'M FORTUNATE THAT MY
GRANDMOTHER IS ONE OF THE
PEOPLE THAT SPENT HER WHOLE
LIFE TELLING HER STORY AS A
WARNING AGAINST WHERE RACISM,
BIGOTRY, AND INTOLERANCE CAN
LEAD.
LEAD.
LEAD. >>
LEAD. >> Reporter: HER WORK OF
SURVIVAL WAS SINGULAR.
TELL THE STORY SO THAT EVERY
SINGLE PERSON SHE WOULD TELL
WITH AND BE A WITNESS TO THE
TRUTH OF THE HOLOCAUST.
>> SHE TAUGHT US THIS STORY FOR
AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER.
WE TALKED ABOUT IT
CONSISTENTLY.
CONSISTENTLY. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE FBI CALLED
OUR FAMILY IN 2016 THAT THE
THOUGHT OF SOME KIND OF
CRIMINAL JUSTICE FOR WHAT
HAPPENED WAS POSSIBLE.
>> Reporter: WHEN THE CALL
CAME, JUDY WAS 87 YEARS OLD.
SHE CREATED SO MANY WITNESSES
TO THE HOLOCAUST BY THEN WITH
HER STORY.
HER STORY. WHAT MATTERED, SHE WAS FINALLY
BEING ASKED TO BE AN ACTUAL
WITNESS.
WITNESS.
WITNESS. IT MATTERED EVEN MORE, BECAUSE
OF WHO WAS DOING THE ASKING.
>> JUST THAT MOMENT ALONE, AT
THE BEGINNING, FOR HER TO BE
SITTING IN HER APARTMENT WITH
GERMAN AUTHORITIES, ASKING HER,
TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.
WE WANT TO FIND JUSTICE FOR
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. JUST
YOU. JUST TO THINK OF WHAT WENT
THROUGH HER MIND, TO BEAST
EATING THEIR WITH PEOPLE FROM
GERMANY, 70+ YEARS LATER,
SAYING WE CARE AND WE ARE
TRYING TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.
THAT MEANT THE MOST TO HER IN
THIS WHOLE PROCESS.
>> Reporter: THE TRIAL OF 93-
YEAR-OLD BRUNO, THE FORMER
GUARD, BEGAN LAST FALL.
JUDY WAS OVERLY FRAIL TO BE AN
IN PERSON WITNESS.
HER TESTIMONY WAS READ IN
COURT.
COURT.
COURT. HER GRANDSON WENT IN HER HONOR.
>> FOR ME, IT IS SHOCKING TO BE
IN THE ROOM WITH THIS PERSON
THAT YOU KNOW WAS A NAZI, STOOD
ON A WATCHTOWER OVER MY FAMILY
SO MANY YEARS AGO.
>> Reporter: IS THAT THE EARLY
DEFENSE WAS YES, HE WAS A GUARD
OF THE CAMP, BUT WHAT HAPPENED
WAS NOT HIS FAULT.
IS THAT HE WAS GOING TO TRYING
TO UNDERSTAND HOW THEN, HOW
COULD THIS GUARD AND THOUSANDS
OTHERS STANDBY BE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE GENOCIDE THAT THEY
PERPETRATED?
PERPETRATED? >> YOU LOOK AROUND, AND MAKES
YOU THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT
THESE WERE NORMAL PEOPLE WHO
WERE CONVINCED TO DO EVIL, EVIL
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. THAT IS A LESSON OUT OF THIS
THAT HAS BEEN VERY EYE-OPENING
FOR ME.>> Reporter: THIS IS A
LESSON HE IS WRESTLING WITH
TODAY, WHEN HE GOT THE NEWS.
>> WHEN I LEARNED HE WAS FOUND
GUILTY THIS MORNING, IT WAS A
HUGE SENSE OF RELIEF.
>> Reporter: FOR YOUR
GRANDMOTHER, FOR YOUR FAMILY,
PARTICIPATING IN THE TRIAL, WAS
HER GOAL PUNITIVE?
>> NO, DEFINITELY NOT.
THE TRIAL HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH TRYING TO SEEK OUT SOME
SORT OF PUNISHMENT.
WE ARE NOT THINKING, I FOR AND
I, HERE AT ALL.
WE WANTED THE TRUTH.
MY GRANDMOTHER MADE A PROMISE
IN THE BARRACKS TO SHARE HER
STORY IT WAS AN OPPORTUITY FOR
HER TO SHARE HER STORY.
IT WAS PROFOUNDLY MEANINGFUL
FOR HER.
FOR HER.
FOR HER. THE CONTEXT OF BEING LISTENED
TO IN GERMANY.
IT IS BEYOND ANYTHING I COULD
HAVE WISHED FOR HER WITHIN HER
LIFETIME.
LIFETIME.
LIFETIME. >>> THAT DOES BRING US TO JUDY.
HE SAID THAT HE AND HIS FATHER
WENT TO TELL HER THE NEWS THAT
THE GUARD WAS FOUND GUILTY.
SHE SAID SHE
