A new trial of former Nazi officials accused of murdering Jews during World War II has opened in Hamburg. The main defendant is former police officer Anton Becker, 57, accused of participating in the mass killings of Jews in Lublin, Poland, in 1942-43. Becker was found guilty of all charges by another court in 1968 but appealed to the West German Supreme Court, which ordered this new trial on grounds of new evidence.
