You've said that he was only following orders and if he hadn't he might have been killed. However the same goes for the people that did the physical killing.

Why are they fair game for prosecution but the administrators not?

After all these were camps designed to kill people. People worked to make these camps as efficient as possible. The train drivers, the accountants, the guards and the other administrative staff where all working to make these camps work.

Also I would point out he isn't being convicted for murder but accessory to murder.

In fact bollocks, are the people who built the building responsible? after all had it not been built the exterminations couldnt have taken place. If they're dead sod it lets prosecute the immediate family ????
No because the test is that you had to know what the purpose of the camp was.
