One hundred protestors flanked a Rome attorney s office where a convicted Nazi was beginning his first day of work. A judge has allowed Erich Priebke, 93, who was convicted in 1997 of participating in a 1944 massacre outside Rome that killed 335 civilians, to leave his home where he is under house arrest to work as a translator and clerical assistant in his attorney s office. Monday’s protesters, some of whom shouted murderer, expressed outrage that a Nazi war criminal had been granted such freedom, including the ability to freely leave his office for lunch, Reuters reported. “People say, ‘It’s enough now,’ ” a protester said. “Enough of what? Nothing should be enough; there can never be enough grief.”
