A perpetrator on the right; a victim on the left:
In 1949, concentration camp guard Alfons Strippel received multiple life sentences for mass murder.
His sentence was reduced over time, however. Upon his release from prison in 1969, he was even granted a six-figure prison indemnity.
The Sinto Siegfried Heilig received a much smaller amount: 5,000 German marks compensation for a life of suffering following a miserable childhood on the run.
