HAMBURG, Germany — A German court on Thursday found a former Nazi SS camp guard guilty of 5,232 counts of accessory to murder and one case of accessory to attempted murder — equal to the number of people believed to have been killed at Stutthof concentration camp during his service there.

A statement from the court said it had given Bruno Dey, 93, a two-year juvenile sentence, which has been suspended.

“How could you get used to the horror?” presiding judge Anne Meier-Goering asked as she announced the verdict.
