Nazi’s 100th birthday sparks resentment in Rome

ROME—The 100th birthday of one of the last Nazi criminals alive has sparked calls for a public apology from relatives of his victims 69 years after their murder and resentment over his freedom of movement.

Erich Priebke, who turns 100 on Monday, was sentenced to life in prison in 1998 for his role in the 1944 Ardeatine caves massacre in Italy in which 335 hostages including 75 Jews were executed as a reprisal for a partisan attack on German soldiers which had left 33 dead.
