Ex-Nazi guard now in Pa. loses deportation appeal

By MARYCLAIRE DALE – 1 day ago

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A retired steelworker who served as a Nazi guard should be deported even though the United States mistakenly granted him a visa in 1956, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.

Anton Geiser's work as a guard meets the type of persecutory conduct banned under a 1953 federal law, the ruling said.

Geiser, 83, did not reveal his Nazi ties on his visa application, but he is not accused of lying about them. Files from the period have been lost and it is not clear what questions he was asked.

His lawyer, Adrian N. Roe, told the appeals court this year that guards not deemed war criminals were sometimes allowed in by the State Department. He complained that the Justice Department, in its efforts to expel former Nazis, was revisiting decisions made a half-century ago.

But the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which focused on the language of the Refugee Relief Act of 1953, said Geiser should have his U.S. citizenship revoked and be deported.

Roe did not immediately return a message after office hours Tuesday.

The Justice Department had argued that Geiser's visa approval was "a mistake" that should be corrected, however belatedly.

Geiser, an ethnic German born in what is now Croatia, served as an armed SS guard at Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin. He then was transferred to an SS officer training camp at Arolsen, where he escorted prisoners to and from the Buchenwald camp, where tens of thousands of Jews and others were exterminated. Geiser was at Arolsen until April 1945.

Since June 1960, Geiser has lived in Sharon, about 60 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, where he married and had three sons. In 1987, he retired from Sharon Steel.
