Abstract: 
The Department of Justice has announced that U.S. District Judge Harold Ackerman stripped Stefan Leili, 77, formerly of Clifton, New Jersey, of his U.S. citizenship on December 29, 1986, due to his service during World War II in the Nazi SS Death's Head Division at the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria where almost 200,000 victims of the Third Reich died.  The Criminal Division's Office of Special Investigations (OSI) handled the case in the U.S. District Court in Newark, New Jersey.
