The U.S. Justice Department moved to revoke the citizenship of an alleged Nazi war criminal for lying about his World War II record. The department’s Office of Special Investigations alleges that Wasyl Krysa served as a guard at the Poniatowa labor camp from July to November 1943 and that he later was a guard at a sub-camp of Mauthausen. Krysa, who lives in Brooklyn, Ohio, entered the United States in 1951.
