WASHINGTON, Oct 22 (Hina) - The appeals chamber of the US
Immigration Department on Wednesday confirmed a decision by which
Ferdinand Hammer should be banished from the United States because
it was established that he had been a Nazi prison camp guard during
World War II.
According to the deportation order, Hammer is to be deported to
Croatia where he was born, the US Justice Ministry reported.
The decision on deportation is dubious, among other things also
because it is not known whether Hammer is a Croatian citizen at
all.
The crimes he is charged with were committed on the territory of the
present-day Germany and Poland.
The 77-year-old Hammer was given the American citizenship in 1963.
He lives in a town in the State of Michigan.
His citizenship was revoked in May 1996, after a county court proved
that Hammer had failed to mention his Nazi past when applying for
citizenship.
