Sandor Kepiro, a former gendarmerie captain, is charged by prosecutors with taking part between January 21 and 23 1942 raids by Hungarian forces in the northern Serbian town of Novi Sad, in which more than 1 200 Jews and Serbs were murdered.
According to court papers, unidentified members of a patrol under Kepiro’s command killed four people during a raid on Jan. 23, 1942. Kepiro is also suspected of being involved in the deaths of around 30 others who were executed on the banks of the Danube River.

Although he’ll probably die before going to prison, I still think that this sends a strong message
Serbs suffered horribly under Nazi persecution.
Jewish blodd isn’t cheap, if we stand up for ourselves, defend our dignity and loved ones, SUPPORT ISRAEL and STOP KVETCHING!
