The oldest person to be convicted over crimes committed during the Holocaust has died at the age of 102.

Josef Schütz was found guilty last June of assisting in the murder of thousands of prisoners at Sachsenhausen near Berlin between 1942 and 1945.

He was given a five-year prison sentence but remained free while he awaited the outcome of an appeal to the Federal Court of Justice.

Schütz had always denied being an SS guard at the Nazi concentration camp.

Good!

1. Pronunciation

Of his last name with the umlaut would be “shitz.”

Just in case anyone was wondering.

2. ?

As a native German speaker - I am sorry to say that Schutz does not sound like “Shitz”. And neither does “Schütz”.

Even with a Bavarian dialect or Friessen or Schwäbische dialect. Not even in Hoch Deutsch.

3. It's close

5. What is more important to point out when it comes to a Nazi Criminal:

Not the pronunciation of his name - and as you incorrectly claim sounds like “shit” (No - not close).

But rather that he was a shit. Showed no remorse or care for what he was accused and found guilty of and of the atrocities committed by Nazis.

A more relevant thing would be pointing out that his name “Schutz” means “Protect”. Which he most certainly didn’t do.

PS: My father was Schützenkönig of his local Schützenfest and I guarantee you that no one ever called him Shitzen-könig.

For prioritizing my intellectual thoughts.

Also for telling me how to pronounce words. No you say tomato I say tomatoh with you! I bow to your superior authoritarianism.

You are obviously my intellectual superior.

Have a nice day and next time I need to do something that strains my mind, like find my way to the grocery store, I’ll check in with you.

p.s. “authoritarianism” was intentional. I hope you get it.

on edit:

it's close, as I said, but more important, contains a "tonal" touch that I liked. Here's a pronunciation of umlaut U:

I rather like the ewh sound. It adds a nice little note of contempt.
