German prosecutors have charged suspected Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk with helping to kill about 28,000 Jews in World War II.
Mr Demjanjuk denies any role in the Holocaust.
The 89-year old, who has been held in a jail in Germany since 12 May after he was deported from the US, will be tried at a court in Munich.
The court, announcing the charges today, could not give details on when the trial would take place.
Ukrainian-born Mr Demjanjukwas deemed fit by medical experts to stand trial despite protests from his family that he is too frail.
The trial is expected to be one of Germany's last major Nazi-era war crimes cases.
