Berlin, Germany – Former SS guard Ivan John Demjanjuk ran the gas chamber at Treblinka where 875,00 Jews were murdered.
A retired auto worker living in the US who is accused of being a sadistic former SS concentration camp guard could be brought in front of a court in Germany.

Ivan John Demjanjuk, branded the second-most-wanted Nazi war criminal by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, allegedly committed horrific acts of violence on inmates at the Treblinka extermination camp in the period 1942 to 1943.
Demjanjuk was sentenced to death by an Israeli court in 1988, but was freed after his conviction was overturned five years later.
Now, the 88-year-old could face another trial — this time in Germany. “We are of the opinion that he could be convicted by German criminal law,” Kurt Schrimm, Germany’s chief Nazi prosecutor said today.
The Ludwigsburg-based Central Office for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes, which Schrimm heads, is going to apply to Germany’s Federal Court of Justice to have Demjanjuk extraditated from the US.
Germany’s highest criminal court will then have to decide if the case can be tried in Germany.
The attempt to bring Demjanjuk to justice in Germany comes as something of a surprise. Only a few months ago, Schrimm had said the chances of bringing any more Nazi war criminals to justice was very slim. “This is not only because of the advanced age of defendants, but also because we are losing witnesses for the same reason,” he commented at the time.
It would be the height of irony if ivan demjanjuk YMSHV”Z were to be tried and convicted [and executed] in Germany! In Israel, he was acquitted through the efforts of a descendant of Holocaust survivors, who used his Yiddishe??? Kop to let loose such a sadistic murderer! All for a few Dollars, [of which the nazis have in abundance!]
Its Like R’ Avigdor Miller ZT”L said that if any person will have the oppurtunity to see the GEHENOM that these RESHOIM are going to get – any person would have on them “pitty” but ONLY HASHEM will say I will NOT STOP because I really know what they did & they deserve every bit of it LET THEM ALL ROT IN GEHENIM TOGETHER !!
I predict a conviction a the repeat of a headline from maybe thirty years ago. After being convicted in absentia in estonia then reconvicted in person for war crimes, there was a headline that read:
“Artukovic execution postponed due to ill health.”
That’s right, you can’t kill the guy. He’s sick. Send him back to the hospital, pay to make him well, THEN kill him. ma’aseh she’hiya. Goyishe kep.
kill him
