A former Nazi SS man is deported from New York

The White House administration decided to deport an 94-year-old Nazi Yakiv Palia, who worked as a security guard at the Travniki concentration camp in Poland.

Now the man lives in Queens, despite the fact that he was deprived of American citizenship 12 years ago, then it was decided to deport him, reports The New York Post.

The Department of Justice intends to apply a warrant issued in 2005 year, which ordered to deport Palia to Germany, Ukraine or Poland, but this prescription was not implemented, because none of the countries agreed to accept it.

“We wholeheartedly agree that Paliy should not spend the rest of his days in this country. The Department of Justice has been and remains committed to pursuing justice and will work with colleagues from other departments to remove Paliya from the United States,” Deputy Attorney General Stephen Boyd said in a letter dated November 6.

The letter is addressed to a member of the New York legislature, Dov Hikind, who for many years has been calling on the federal government to deport Paly from the United States for his involvement in the crimes of the Nazi regime.

“Palia’s presence in the United States is a mockery of the memory of the victims. He disparages the memory of US military personnel who fought and died to defeat the Nazi regime. His presence here is a mockery of the American justice system. It's time for our president to show the world how to deal with murderers and villains. It’s time to expel Yakiv Paliya from the United States,” Hikind said.

Hikind, the son of parents who survived the Holocaust, was among the 83 members of the Assembly of New York who signed in June 2017 a letter to the presidential administration calling for the deportation of Palia from the United States.

Paly was a security guard at a concentration camp in occupied Poland.. He immigrated to the United States, indicating false information in the documents, and received US citizenship in 1957 year.

The decision to deport him was taken in 2004, at the same time he was deprived of his citizenship, but Germany, Poland and Ukraine refused to accept the offender, where they tried to deport him, so the man still lives in Queens.

In 2009, the Jewish community of New York held a rally under the house of Paly demanding to deport the criminal, according to “Details".

The authorities estimate that around 925 thousands of Jews were killed in the Treblinka camp in Poland. Paly worked there in 1943.

94-year-old Yakiv Paliy is a native of the village of Pyadiki, Kolomyia district, in the present Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine. If Treblinka "specialized" in the mass extermination of the Jews of Poland, then the Travniki camp, where Paly also worked, was also an SS training base for training guards and punitive police for other camps. Graduates of this camp participated in the spring of 1943 in suppressing the uprising of the Jewish ghetto of Warsaw.

The materials of his case state that Jacob Paly in 1943 was in training at SS Travniki and worked there as a security guard. In 1944, he served in the sonderkommando, which destroyed the peaceful Polish population. In the same year, Paly received a promotion, continuing to serve in the SS guard battalion until the end of the war.

Turning at the end of 40 for a US immigration visa, he hid in his documents the facts of service in the SS and wrote that during the war he worked on his father's farm in the village, which is now in Ukraine. Despite the fact that American justice does not impute Yakov Palia a personal part in the extermination of prisoners, the immigration judge’s ruling states that his involvement in the persecution of Jews, as well as “cooperation with the Nazi German government” were fully proved.

Since 1979, more than 60 people have been deprived of American citizenship for such crimes, most of whom were deported from the US.
