Cleveland, OH – The US Supreme Court has rejected a bid by alleged Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk to block his deportation to Germany on war crimes charges.

The 89-year-old Ohio resident had argued that he was too ill to be moved.
Mr Demjanjuk denies charges of being a guard at the Sobibor death camp in World War II and an accessory in the deaths of 29,000 Jews.
He says he was captured by the Germans in his native Ukraine during the war and kept as a prisoner of war.
In March, German prosecutors filed charges against him and issued a warrant for his arrest.
A stay of deportation was granted in April after US federal agents briefly removed him from his home.
His family said he was too ill to be moved but the government then filed video showing him walking unassisted.
Earlier today Mr Demjanjuk’s lawyer launched an appeal in Germany, arguing that it should retract its extradition request on humanitarian grounds.
if only every one of the 6 million jews was given such judicial opportunities they’d be alive today nebach such a murderer is tooill to stand trial what a tragic farce
This Animal deserves all the torture in the world before he dies…
This decision wasn’t made by the whole court, but rather by Justice John Paul Stevens. Justice Stevens was presumably unmoved by Demjanjuk’s claim that he was too old, since Stevens himself is 89 years old.
He says hes to old well the kids he killed were to young that peice of dirt.
got it out of the usa let him die someplace else this rotting individual……………
Germany is too good for him. He should burn in Hell. The soon the better. His lawyer can go with him.
So now when does he go?

Just leave already…. How many appeals are open to this guy… he will have a cushy cell in deutschland anyway, so what’s his issue?
If the nazi slob is too ill, he can have a slower dose of electricity on the electric chair
Isnt it strange that Israel could not find anything on teh guy but Germany wants him for some reason? When was the last time that Germany tried to prosecute an alleged Nazi?
I think Germany is trying to get him out to give him shelter.

Can you believe this nonsense. the lawyer want the German gov to act humanitarian.
What a joke. The right to do is extradite him, convict him and then hang this evil trash. I will say Hallel when he dies. Hashems’ name will be glorified when he is convicted guilty.
drop him in iran with a big sign on his back that says the prophet muhammed is a monkey.
I am glad it is dragging on… in prison he will lead a pretty peaceful life in Germany as they are all liberals. Like this, he gets no peace… he is bombarded every day by media… he is dragged in and out of courtrooms. He is being ridiculed in public and exposed for the murderer he is! He will be convicted soon enough.
