Images, described as horrific, started circulating online from Syrian prisons following the liberation of inmates by rebels who ousted President Bashar al-Assad. This has led to some people seeing a direct link to the Nazis, in particular, Alois Brunner, a commanding officer in the Nazi paramilitary SS who fled to Syria in 1954. Brunner was a close associate of Adolf Eichmann, who, as one of the architects of the “Final Solution,” was partly responsible for the targeting of millions of Jews. The images from the Sednaya prison show gaunt, emaciated people, some standing in packed, overcrowded cells with many prisoners having to be carried out of the building. The liberators also claimed to have filmed a room where people were huddled in the semidarkness, screaming. 00:00 – INTRODUCTION 02″03 – ‘FORMER NAZIS VALUED IN SYRIA FOR…’03:59 – THE GERMAN CHAIR04:59 – HOW MANY PRISONS DOES SYRIA HAVE?05:31 – “HORRIFIC” PRISON CONDITIONSn18oc_world n18oc_crux
