The article says "That changed with the 2011 conviction of John Demjanjuk, when a judge concluded that his activities as a camp worker in Nazi-occupied Poland amounted to complicity in mass murder."
Also in a Guardian article[1] "The prosecution’s case has been built on the premise that, however low his rank, Hanning’s presence at Auschwitz made him part of the Nazi death machine and that he should therefore share responsibility for the Holocaust"
And from a Time article[2] it says he was "initially assigned to register work details, away from the killing, but he later took a post in the guard tower" and "In his statement in court, Hanning did not describe witnessing selections or any personal involvement in killing. But he did admit to knowing about it. "
