Federal Magistrate Judge Timothy R. Rice on Wednesday ordered him held without bail, pending an extradition hearing in late August.<\/p>\n<p>According to court documents filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, German authorities have charged Breyer with complicity in the murder of over 216,000 European Jews from Hungary, Germany, and Czechoslovakia, who were forcibly deported to the Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camp on 158 trains between May and October 1944.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. case against Breyer dates to the 1990s when federal authorities sought to strip him of his U.S. citizenship, arguing that Nazis were not eligible. At the time, Breyer admitted to the U.S. Department of Justice that he served as an armed guard at the Buchenwald concentration camp and was later transferred to the notorious Auschwitz camp, where more than 1 million people, most of them Jews, were killed during World War II\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Inserted from &lt;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2014\/06\/18\/us\/nazi-charge-philadelphia-man\/\" target=\"_blank\">CNN<\/a>&gt;<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Here is the included video:<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"234\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/video\/api\/embed.html#\/video\/crime\/2014\/06\/19\/dnt-nazi-charge-philadelphia-man.kyw\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"416\"><\/iframe><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">The best thing about this is that there will be one less Republican vote on 11\/4.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the fiftieth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become.
