There is no evidence that POWs trained as police auxiliaries at Trawniki were required to receive such tattoos, although it was an option for those that volunteered. The accounts of 21 guards who were tried in the Soviet Union on war crimes gave details that differentiate Demjanjuk from Ivan the Terrible in particular that 'Ivan the Terrible's surname was Marchenko, not Demjanjuk. [98] In Ukraine, Demjanjuk was viewed as a national hero and received a personal invitation to return to Ukraine by then-president Leonid Kravchuk. [37] While the government was preparing for trial, Hanusiak published pictures of an ID card identifying Demjanjuk as having been a Trawniki man and guard at Sobibor in News from Ukraine. The Demjanjuk case was the subject of a five-part documentary series, The Devil Next Door, that Netflix released last year. German historian Martin Cppers says the collection unveiled on Tuesday shows how lower-ranking SS were given significance as the Nazis developed the machinery of mass murder.

Argo Contemporary Art Museum & Cultural Centre is a former 1920s beer distillery in the heart of Tehran . In 2009, Harper's Magazine sent war-crimes expert Lawrence Douglas to Munich to cover the last chapter of the lengthiest case ever to arise from the Holocaust: the trial of eighty-nine-year-old John Demjanjuk. The long and twisted saga of John Demjanjuk, a postwar immigrant and auto mechanic living a quiet life in Cleveland until 1977, is the final piece in the puzzle of American government deceit. Demjanjuk, an Ohio autoworker whose U.S. citizenship was twice stripped, had steadfastly denied being a Nazi collaborator. That same year, German authorities expressed interest in prosecuting Demjanjuk on charges of accessory to murder during his service at Sobibor. Demjanjuk's lawyer argued that all of the ID cards could be forgeries and that there was no point comparing them. In 1986, an unassuming Cleveland grandfather and autoworker is accused of being Ivan the Terrible, a brutal Nazi death camp guard. He had appealed the conviction. Prosecutors claimed that Demjanjuk volunteered to collaborate with the Germans and was sent to the camp at Trawniki, where he was trained to guard prisoners as part of Operation Reinhard.

[149], Demjanjuk declined to testify or make a final statement during the trial. [84] Demjanjuk also changed his testimony as to why he had listed Sobibor as his place of domicile from his earlier trials: he now claimed to have been advised to do so by an official of the United Nations Relief Administration to list a place in Poland or Czechoslovakia in order to avoid repatriation to the Soviet Union, after which another Soviet refugee waiting with him suggested Demjanjuk list Sobibor. The investigation charged that OSI had ignored evidence indicating that Demjanjuk was not Ivan the Terrible, uncovered an internal OSI memo that questioned the case against Demjanjuk. Not Hollywood, not L.A., not the country, They found work in Russia. [17] After a battle in Eastern Crimea, he was taken prisoner by the Germans and was held in a camp for Soviet prisoners of war in Chem. In August 1977, Demjanjuk was accused of having been a Trawniki man.

[139] On 30 November 2009, Demjanjuk's trial, expected to last for several months, began in Munich. We had a suspicion it was him and we were able to enlist the support of the state police. [75] The testimony of one of these witnesses, Pinhas Epstein, had been barred as unreliable in US denaturalization trial of former camp guard Feodor Fedorenko,[74] while another, Gustav Boraks, sometimes appeared confused on the stand. [110] On 22 December 2006, the Board of Immigration Appeals upheld the deportation order. In 1999, US prosecutors again sought to deport Demjanjuk for having been a concentration camp guard, and his citizenship was revoked in 2002. Hence this physical evidence only suggested, but by no means proved, that Demjanjuk might have served as a concentration camp guard. [59] Demjanjuk appealed his extradition; in a hearing on 8 July 1985, Demjanjuk's defense attorneys claimed that the evidence against him had been manufactured by the KGB,[60] that Demjanjuk was never at Treblinka, and that the court had no authority to consider Israel's request for extradition. [101], Demjanjuk was released to return to the United States. [32] INS quickly discovered that Demjanjuk had listed his place of domicile from 1937 to 1943 as Sobibor on his US visa application of 1951. The Devil Next Door, which comes to Netflix on Nov. 4, attempts to explain the allegations that surrounded Demjanjuk for the latter part of his life. [161] On 31 March 2012, it was reported that John Demjanjuk was buried at an undisclosed US location. The prosecution charged that he was the Treblinka killing center guard known to prisoners as Ivan the Terrible, and that he had operated and maintained the diesel engine used to pump carbon monoxide fumes into the Treblinka gas chambers. [121] As the Government noted, a motion to reopen, such as Demjanjuk's, could only properly be filed with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) in Washington, D.C., and not an immigration trial court. After an 18-month trial, Demjanjuk was convicted by a court in Munich in 2011 of being an accessory to the murder of about 28,000 Jews at Sobibor. [11] Having died before a final judgment on his appeal could be issued, under German law, Demjanjuk remains technically innocent. He said he had been drafted into the Soviet army in 1941 and been a Ukrainian prisoner of war in Germany and Poland before immigrating to the United States after the war, changing his name from Ivan to John and settling in Seven Hills, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb. Danil'chenko had stated that he knew Demjanjuk from their service together in Sobibor and at the Flossenbrg concentration camp until 1945. [137] Busch also alleged that the trial violated the principle of double jeopardy due to the previous trial in Israel. Demjanjuk also said, "Your Honors, if I had really been in that terrible place, would I have been stupid enough to say so? [87] Demjanjuk was placed in solitary confinement during the appeals process. In an interview, Daniel Bloch, the co-director of the series, said of the newly released images: They certainly seem to place him in Sobibor, but that isnt a huge surprise given all the documentation that has placed him there before. [3] In 2009, Germany requested his extradition for over 27,900 counts of acting as an accessory to murder: one for each person killed at Sobibor during the time when he was alleged to have served there as a guard.

Investigations of Demjanjuk's Holocaust-era past began in 1975. Prosecutors had maintained that Demjanjuk was one of the Trawniki men Central and Eastern European collaborators recruited from Nazi-run camps for Soviet prisoners of war and served at the Sobibor, Majdanek and Flossenburg camps.

[49] The defense also submitted the statement of Feodor Fedorenko, a Ukrainian guard at Treblinka, which stated that Fedorenko could not recall having seen Demjanjuk at Treblinka. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) began investigating John Demjanjuk in 1975 and filed denaturalization proceedings against him in 1977, alleging that he had falsified his immigration and citizenship papers in order to conceal World War II service at the Treblinka killing center. Historican Martin Cueppers points at a man, presumably former security guard John Demjanjuk, at the Nazi death camp Sobibor during a news conference of newly discovered photos from the Sobibor . [105] OSI continued to investigate Demjanjuk, relying solely on documentary evidence rather than eye-witnesses. A critical piece of evidence was John Demjanjuk's Trawniki camp identification card, located in a Soviet archive. Getty John Demjanjuk leaves the court after his verdict on May 12, 2011 in Munich. They believe the collection includes two photos showing Demjanjuk with fellow guards at the camp, which would be the first documentary evidence to conclusively establish he had served there. In 1986, an unassuming Cleveland grandfather and autoworker is accused of being Ivan the Terrible, a brutal Nazi death camp guard. But the following year, U.S. prosecutors reopened the case. "I saw his eyes, I saw those murderous eyes", Rosenberg told the court, glaring at Demjanjuk. The sentencing of Demjanjuk broke new legal ground, as it allowed a conviction based on an individual's service in a death camp, without direct proof that they had committed an atrocity. [104], On 20 February 1998, Judge Paul Matia of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio vacated Demjanjuk's denaturalization "without prejudice," meaning that OSI could seek to strip Demjanjuk of citizenship a second time. Proceedings in the United States twice stripped him of his American citizenship and ordered him deported. "[4] Demjanjuk was extradited to Israel in 1986 for trial. John Demjanjuk's defense claimed that the card was a Soviet-inspired forgery, despite several forensic tests that verified it as authentic. Upon his arrival, German authorities arrested him and held him in Munich's Stadelheim prison. Two grainy black-and-white pictures showing a man authorities believe to be convicted Nazi collaborator John Demjanjuk working at the Sobibor death camp were published by German historians on Tuesday surprise findings, 75 years after the Holocaust, that contradict the late U.S. autoworkers steadfast claims that he was never there. There's no genuine controversy here: John Demjanjuk was not Ivan the Terrible. [132] Demjanjuk was tried without any connection to a concrete act of murder or cruelty, but rather on the theory that as a guard at Sobibor he was per se guilty of murder, a novelty in the German justice system that was seen as risky for the prosecution. As listed, Demjanjuk (born April 3, 1920 in the Ukraine) was a soldier in the Red Army who, falling into German captivity, volunteered for service in the S.S, underwent training and preparation at the S.S. training camp in the township of Trawn iki, Poland, where he served from March 1943 as an S.S. Wachman at the Sobibor death camp, and later at As Demjanjuk's appeal made its way to the Israeli Supreme Court, the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1991. Evidence to assist this claim included an identification card from Trawniki bearing Demjanjuk's picture and personal information[88] found in the Soviet archives in addition to German documents that mentioned "Wachmann" Demjanjuk with his date and place of birth. He added that camp documents and modern police biometric technology played a supporting role in reaching that conclusion. John Demjanjuk, who has died aged 91, was a former Soviet peasant convicted in 1988 of war crimes, having been identified as the notorious Treblinka death camp guard known as Ivan the Terrible. Born in Soviet Ukraine, under Stalin's regime, John was originally named Ivan Demjanjuk. Part of Sobibor camp is seen in the photo below. Collections; . But OSI's new director Allan Ryan chose to go ahead with the prosecution of Demjanjuk as Ivan the Terrible. Rosenberg approached and peered closely at Demjanjuk's face. He said the pictures and documents helped shed light on the workings of the notorious Operation Reinhard from 1941 to 1943, when 1.7 million Jews were killed at the Sobibor, Treblinka and Belzec death camps. [35], INS sent photographs to the Israeli government of the nine persons alleged by Hanusiak to have been involved in crimes against Jews: the government's agents asked survivors of Sobibor and Treblinka if they could identify Demjanjuk based on his visa application picture. He denied having served there, or having had any role in the Holocaust. All three were responsible for burning the bodies of murdered "euthanasia" victims, the researchers say. Demjanjuk returned to the United States, and his citizenship was restored in 1998. Such a proceeding became possible upon the discovery of internal Trawniki training camp personnel correspondence in the Archives of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation in Moscow. The photos chart Niemann's Nazi career, including places where disabled people were murdered, in the so-called T4 "euthanasia" programme, and the Sachsenhausen and Belzec camps. On 1 May 2009, the Sixth Circuit lifted the stay that it had imposed against Demjanjuk's deportation order. On May 19, 2008, the US Supreme Court declined to review his appeal. [66] According to prosecutors, Demjanjuk had been recruited into the Soviet army in 1940, and had fought until he was captured by German troops in Eastern Crimea in May 1942. [7][8] On 12 May 2011, he was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison. Demjanjuk immigrated to the United States in 1952 and became a naturalized US citizen in 1958. [99], After Demjanjuk's acquittal, the Israeli Attorney-General decided to release him rather than to pursue charges of committing crimes at Sobibor.

[158], John Demjanjuk died at a home for the elderly in Bad Feilnbach, Germany on 17 March 2012, aged 91. As Chelm was Demjanjuk's alibi, he was questioned about this omission during the trial by both the prosecutors and the judges; Demjanjuk blamed the trauma of his POW experience and said he had simply forgotten. The German jurisdictional authority rested on the murder of people brought to Sobibor on 15 transport trains from the Westerbork camp in the Netherlands between April and July 1943, among whom were individual German citizens who had fled to Holland in the 1930s.

With this new evidence, the OSI team had also developed a more thoroughly documented understanding of the importance of the Trawniki camp during the Holocaust as well as the process of how camp authorities made personnel assignments. [94] Central to the new evidence was a photograph of Ivan the Terrible and a description that did not match the 1942 appearance of Demjanjuk. The cover had a tattoo on it.
