Demjanjuk Deportation Allowed

Germany accuses John Demjanjuk of having been a guard at a Nazi concentration camp.




The 89-year-old lives here near Cleveland, Ohio in the United States.




He was due to be deported to Germany to face charges of being an accessory in the killings of 29 000 Jews at the Sobibor death camp, which is now in Poland.




A U.S. immigration judge lifted the stay of deportation which had blocked Demjanjuk's departure.




But he also ruled that lawyers for the retired automobile industry worker should have filed the request to reopen his case with the Board of Immigration Appeals instead.




Demjanjuk's lawyers say he is too ill to travel.




Demjanjuk has previously faced charges over his role in the Holocaust.




He was stripped of his U.S. citizenship and extradited to Israel.




In 1988 a court there sentenced him to death after Holocaust survivors identified him as "Ivan the Terrible", a notoriously sadistic guard at Treblinka, where 870 000 people died.




But Israel's highest court later overturned the conviction and ruled that Demjanjuk was not "Ivan".




He returned to the United States - but U.S. officials stripped him of his citizenship again in 2002, saying he'd worked at three other camps and hidden the information when he first came to the country.




The Ukrainian native has denied any role in the Holocaust.




He says he was drafted into the Russian army in 1941, became a German prisoner of war a year later, and served at German prison camps until
1944.




Demjanjuk's lawyer in Germany says they are now waiting to hear if and when he will be deported.

Read the book by Demjanjuk's lawyer Yoram Sheftel "The Demjanjuk affair: The Rise and Fall of a Show Trial" as well as articles on ukar.org in the WayBackMachine search engine as well as on xoxol.org

It really does make one wonder. Should the individual, or the gov'ts of today be 'put on trial?" By putting individuals on trial doesn't it make seem that there were just a few loose cannons running around killing the innocent, when in fact it was because of gov't orders that the Hungarians shot the Jews and Serbs? Hungary itself is to blame. Neither Hungary nor Austria has put many of its citizens on trials for nazi era crimes.
