Abstract

-- The paper next to the courtroom door announced the charge for the day's hearing in tiny type that hardly seemed equal to its gravity. ''Mord,'' it read in German. Murder. The accused waited with his lawyer, standing unsteadily, gripping a crutch with one arm. Josef Scheungraber, 90, is charged in the deaths of 14 Italian civilians in June 1944, when he was a lieutenant in the Wehrmacht. He is an accused war criminal, called to account more than six decades later. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
