I'd say that the title here is accurate if and only if you confine it to those who participated in the dirty work.
As we know, there are many still with us in spirit and substance. They can readily be identified by their aversion to the chanukkah and assorted other jewish symbols, nazi-apologist ways, or the many political, etc, povs they hold in common with their ideological and spiritual cousins.
The most amusing thing I've seen outta this type, is that they appear to be quite taken aback when people express povs like that expressed here -- a desire to spit on their graves -- or rhetorically spitting on them now. Much like their racist brethren, they almost always seek to turn it around by claiming in the wake of having their racism established, that it is those that are charging it that are the real or worst racists. Condemners of racism/racists and haters/hate talkers like nazis and racists immediately become what they are in all ways, and worse, despite the fact that those doing the condemning would have no ammo and nothing to say but for their existence as such.
Apparently this type thinks they have a right to speak freely like speech should never carry a cost for them, and that condemning them is outta the price range for those who'd do so, thereby leaving them nothing but the enabling of silence/silence of "decent".
I hope this death announcement doesn't give too many a sad. It really shouldn't given how his shared spirit still lives on in so many, so that particular flame is far from extinguished.

In my own way, I mourn the passing of Heinrich Boere. Not because of what he believed or what he did; were I able, I would spit on his grave...and then light a candle, and stand a vigil, because Heinrich Boere is important to us all. When men like Heinrich Boere die, we are one step closer to forgetting that men like him lived at all, one step closer to forgetting that party-sponsored murder gangs like the Waffen SS ever existed, one step closer to forgetting that hate-fueled thuggery thrives in economic chaos, can take over, and can wreak bloody havoc.
When men like Heinrich Boere die, we are one step closer to having men like Heinrich Boere among us again, because we forget what they did when they are gone, and by forgetting, we allow them to live again. Sooner or later, inevitably, they rise when we forget.
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting Auschwitz at the end of the war, said, "The things I saw beggar description. The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops the tendency to charge these allegations merely to 'propaganda.'" http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/20387-the-last-dead-nazi
