Auschwitz SS sergeant says he is ashamed of his actions
Reinhold Hanning apologised to Holocaust survivors looking on in the courtroom for doing nothing to try to stop what was going on, even though he was aware Jews were being gassed and their corpses burned.
He told the Detmold state court he had never spoken about his service in Auschwitz from January 1942 to June 1944, even to his family, but wanted to use his trial as an opportunity to set the record straight.
