"We are here because there is still a free Nazi, a Nazi hangman who should be in jail, who was sentenced to life imprisonment, and instead is here. He celebrates his 100th birthday, goes to pizzerias with friends, has his relatives visiting him; earlier they went upstairs carrying a bottle of sparkling wine. All this is not normal, because as we know he is responsible for the Fosse Ardeatine massacre, in which a part of my family died."

9. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Sandra Piperno, protester:
"Thinking of celebrating his 100th birthday when he hasn't allowed people to get to 18, because, as they said earlier, there are four or five victims in that list of victims that were 14 or 15 years old. I mean, he didn't allow those people to live and he thinks he can celebrate his 100 years."

STORYLINE
Members of Rome's Jewish community gathered outside the house of convicted Nazi war criminal Erich Priebke on Monday, eager to prevent any form of celebration for his 100th birthday.
"We are here because there is still a free Nazi, a Nazi hangman who should be in jail, who was sentenced to life imprisonment, and instead is here," explained protester Micol Anticoli.
The former Nazi officer has been in prison or under house arrest since he was extradited to Italy in 1994 from Argentina, where he had lived for years.
He was convicted of war crimes three years later for his role in the World War II massacre of 335 civilians at the Ardeatine Caves on the outskirts of Rome.
Priebke has admitted shooting two people and helping round up the victims, but has always insisted he was just following orders and should not be held responsible.
There was a strong police presence at Monday's protest, which was organised by the Jewish group "Project Dreyfus".
The demonstrators carried Israeli flags and hung a large sign in front of Priebke's house with the names of the victims of the Ardeatine massacre, which were read aloud.
"Priebke should have been immediately, immediately not even burnt to death, but something even more terrible," said Rabbi Vittorio della Rocca, attending the protest.
It is not clear whether Priebke is planning any birthday celebrations.
According to eyewitnesses, and Italian media reports, Priebke's lawyer and his nephew paid him a visit on Monday morning, and both visits were strongly contested by protesters.
"He didn't allow those people to live and he thinks he can celebrate his 100 years."
