A U.S. judge revoked the citizenship of a former concentration camp guard who has been living in Connecticut. Walter Berezowskyj admitted as part of an agreement with American officials that he lied on his application to immigrate to the United States about having been a guard at several labor camps where Jews were killed during the war. In return, the United States agreed that it would not attempt to deport the retired machine operator unless his medical condition improves.
