The prosecution in the Grodno war crimes trial has demanded life imprisonment at hard labor for Kurt Wieser, one of two defendants who is charged with the murder of 86 Jews in one of Grodno’s two ghettos during World War Two. No sentence has been demanded yet for the second defendant, Kurt Erelis. The prosecutor argued that the accused has shown no signs of emotion or remorse as evidence revealed details of the murder of some 25,000 Jews in Grodno.
