In 2004, a federal judge stripped Kuras of his 1962 naturalization certificate and other citizenship documents.Kuras worked at three Nazi slave-labor camps during World War II. He ordered the shooting of anyone who tried to escape, according to court documents.Kuras came to the United States in 1951 and became a citizen 11 years later.
