势不可挡

看到唐师曾不幸离世的消息，真是难过。

二 |     A 98-year-old man has been charged in Germany with being an accessory to murder as a guard at the Nazis' Sachsenhausen concentration camp between 1943 and 1945, prosecutors said Friday.The German citizen, a resident of Main-Kinzig county near Frankfurt, is accused of having "supported the cruel and malicious killing of thousands of prisoners as a member of the SS guard detail," prosecutors in Giessen said in a statement. They did not release the suspect's name.He is charged with more than 3,300 counts of being an accessory to murder between July 1943 and February 1945. The indictment was filed at the state court in Hanau, which will now have to decide whether to send the case to trial. If it does, he will be tried under juvenile law, taking account of his age at the time of the alleged crimes.

     Prosecutors said that a report by a psychiatric expert last October found that the suspect is fit to stand trial at least on a limited basis.More than 200,000 people were held at Sachsenhausen, just north of Berlin, between 1936 and 1945. Tens of thousands died of starvation, disease, forced labor, and other causes, as well as through medical experiments and systematic SS extermination operations including shootings, hangings and gassing.

             

Exact numbers for those killed vary, with upper estimates of some 100,000, though scholars suggest figures of 40,000 to 50,000 are likely more accurate.                 

Law enables trials of surviving SS personnel   

German prosecutors have brought several cases under a precedent set in recent years that allows for people who helped a Nazi camp function to be prosecuted as an accessory to the murders there without direct evidence that they participated in a specific killing.Charges of murder and being an accessory to murder aren't subject to a statute of limitations under German law.But given the advanced age of the accused, many trials have had to be cancelled for health reasons.Convictions also do not lead to actual imprisonment, with some defendants dying before they could even begin to serve their jail terms.                      Among those found guilty in these late trials were Oskar Groening — a former Nazi death camp guard dubbed the "Accountant of Auschwitz" — and Reinhold Hanning, a former SS guard at the same camp.Both men were found guilty for complicity in mass murder at age 94 but died before they could be imprisoned.An 101-year-old ex-Nazi camp guard, Josef Schuetz was convicted last year, becoming the oldest so far to be put on trial for complicity.He died in April while awaiting the outcome of an appeal against his five-year jail sentence.And a 97-year-old former concentration camp secretary, Irmgard Furchner, became the first woman to be tried for Nazi crimes in decades in December 2022, the BBC reported. She was found guilty of complicity in the murders of more than 10,500 people at Stutthof camp, near the city of Danzig.AFP contributed to this report.

。他比我还小一岁。但我很尊敬他，服他。唐师曾是海湾战争中出名的，大约1997—1998年的某个时间，我约他吃饭，提出由我在的市场化报纸出钱，资助他去阿富汗采访，寻找拉登的踪迹。那时拉登已经很有名了，但还没有发生“911事件”。记得他当时兴奋极了，有可能再一次去战争、动荡地区，对他像是“喜从天降”。他当场一口答应，表示希望尽快成行。1993年至1996年，我本人也在前南斯拉夫地区经历了战地报道，但在那个时候，我的名气远不及唐老鸭，请他出面，有利于吸引更多对报道的关注。我当时是报纸副主编，我的提议得到编辑部的一致支持。我全力推动“唐老鸭去阿富汗寻找拉登”的项目。然而非常遗憾的是，由于种种原因，那个项目最终流产，我和老鸭都很遗憾。2003年伊拉克战争爆发，我本人前往中东。

三 | 今天把这件事写出来 ，表达对老鸭的一份敬意和怀念。我清楚记得那天吃饭时的每一个细节，包括他当时激动的话语、表情和手势，以及他对去阿富汗寻觅拉登踪迹可能会出现情况的分析。

四 | 他没有半点怯意，只有百分百的开心。他是一位天生的战地记者。老胡之前和之后也去过很多次战场和动荡地区，但我必须说，老鸭比我勇敢。我是有过恐惧的，尤其是对家和亲人儿女情长的牵挂。

五 | 但那些日子里，每次见面，我在老鸭的眼里看到的全是光。

六 | 祝老鸭一路走好。下辈子我们还做同行。
