Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning.

In the news this morning, the last Nazi war crime suspect facing deportation from the United States was taken from his New York City home and spirited early Tuesday morning to Germany, the White House said.

The deportation of the 95-year-old former concentration camp guard, Yaquiv Pali, came 25 years after investigators first confronted him about his World War II passed,

and he admitted lying to get into the United States claiming he spent the war as a farmer and factory worker.

Palli lived quietly in the United States for years as draftsmen and as a retiree until nearly three decades ago,

when investigators found his name on an old Nazi roster and a fellow former guard spilled the secret

that he was living somewhere in America. Pali told Justice Department investigators who showed up

The bitch of his is that he got so many decades. I know. You know, that's the bitch of it.

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And apparently there were like people in this guy's neighborhood knew who he was.

And, you know, there would be protests outside of his house and things like that. According to the

Justice Department, he served in Troniki

in 1943, the same year, 6,000 prisoners in the camps and tens of thousands of other prisoners

held in occupied Poland were rounded up and slaughtered. Pali admitted serving but denied any
