Not to Late To Prosecute NAZI War Criminals

“Ivan the Terrible” To Be Deported from U. S.

The saga of eighty-eight year old retired Ford Motor Company employee and accused NAZI war criminal John Demjanjuk, born Ivan Demjanjuk is coming to the end of a 30-year legal battle. Also known as Ivan the Terrible he is accused as a mass murderer of Jews in Sobibor death camp; also served in Majdanek death camp and Trawniki SS-training camp he is 2^nd on the list of Nazi war criminals. Demjanjuk was convinced and sentenced to be hanged by Israel but later released after its Supreme Court found evidence that facts were unlawfully withheld and he returned to the U. S. New evidence reversed the Israeli ruling and his extradition if again underway. In May 2008 the U. S. Supreme Court refused to consider the case. Demjanjuk lived in the U. S. since 1951 and became a citizen in 1952.

Other Nazi War Criminals are still sought and are known to be living in Europe, Middle East, South America and elsewhere. According to a April 30, 2008 by the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Israel, “Since January 2001, seventy-six convictions against Nazi war criminals have been obtained, at least forty-eight new indictments have been filed, and hundreds of new investigations have been initiated. Despite the somewhat prevalent assumption that it is too late to bring Nazi murderers to justice, the figures clearly prove otherwise, and it is clear that of such criminals will continue to be brought to trial during the coming years.”
