If I remember correctly, up till quite recently lower-level Nazi employees such as guards weren’t deemed important enough to be considered accessory to murder. However in a recent case, a german court declared that being employed in a concentration camp implied that said person was guilty of murder. This was a landmark judgement and is being used a precedent for other prosecutions as well
