A 95-year-old man who served as a Nazi concentration camp guard during World War Two has lost an appeal to prevent his deportation, the Justice Department said Thursday.

The deportation of Friedrich Karl Berger, a German citizen living in Tennessee, was first ordered by an immigration judge on Feb. 28 following a two-day trial in Memphis. The judge said Berger was removable under the 1978 Holtzman Amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act.
