Laszlo Csatary, a Hungarian who’d been convicted by Slovakia for aiding the deportation of Jews to Nazi death camps and who was awaiting trial in his home country, died at age 98.

Csatary died Aug. 10 from pneumonia at a hospital in Budapest, his lawyer, Gabor B. Horvath, said today by phone. His trial was scheduled to start in the fall, Horvath said. Csatary denied the allegations against him.
