Following
his conviction by a De-Nazification Court in 1946, Dr. Sewering
began what would prove to be a long career as a chest physician
in Dachau, one that has been financially lucrative and professionally
successful. Many honors have been bestowed upon him by his colleagues,
by universities, and by the State. Dr. Sewering resigned under
pressure from the World Medical Association in late January, 1993,
claiming that a "world Jewish conspiracy" had brought him down. 
Because
of his prominence, Dr. Sewering has been featured in the media often.
Beginning in the 1960s, allegations of his Nazi past began to surface
in the press. In the 1970s, a prominent German periodical, "
Dr.
Sewering continues to practice medicine in Dachau. His choice of
city in which to practice is symbolic, Dachau being notorious as
the site of an infamous concentration camp during World War II. To
this day he denies all knowledge of the events at Eglfing-Haar in
the 1940s and receives the protection of the Bavarian Minister of
Justice and the State Prosecutor in Munich who refuse to conduct
an authentic criminal inquiry into his past, one that would lead
to an indictment for murder and a trial at which the facts of the
matter would, at long last, be presented in a court of law.
