I don't disagree with that in general, but IIRC in the case of old SS personnel many of the elderly being persecuted were not directly involved in the murders, just camp bureaucrats/accountants.
The biggest case that comes to my mind is Oskar Groening, whose job was just handling material goods in the camp, who was never involved in gassings or murders and who even spent his post-war life fighting Holocaust deniers. Nevertheless, in his 90s, he was sentenced to jail.
What is accomplished by this?
