Germany is to try a former Auschwitz paramedic, who is accused of being an accessory to the murder of at least 3,681 people.

Hubert Z, 95 - whose last name is being withheld due to Germany’s privacy laws - was a Nazi SS officer at Auschwitz between October 1943 and January 1944.

The Guardian reports that he was one of the death camp’s paramedics from 15 August to 14 September 1944.

During that month, at least 14 deportation trains arrived at the extermination camp from as far away as Lyon, Vienna and Westerbork, in the Netherlands.
