Demjanjuk
John (alias: Ivan The Terrible). 2012-03-17

91

Born 1920-04-03. Domain:Society. Cause of death:Age

He was a man who was convicted as a war criminal. Demjanjuk's conviction was pending appeal at the time of his death. Demjanjuk was born in the Ukrainian People's Republic, 2 years before it was incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR. He emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1952 and was granted citizenship in 1958, when he formally anglicized his name from "Ivan" to "John". In 1986 he was deported to Israel to stand trial for war crimes, after being identified by Israeli Holocaust survivors as "Ivan the Terrible", a notorious guard at the Treblinka and Sobibor extermination camps. Demjanjuk was accused of committing murder and acts of extraordinarily savage violence against camp prisoners during 1942–43. He was convicted of having committed crimes against humanity and sentenced to death there in 1988. The verdict was overturned by the Israeli Supreme Court in 1993 due to a finding of reasonable doubt based on evidence suggesting that this was a case of mistaken identity, that Demjanjuk was not "Ivan the Terrible". After the trial, in September 1993, he returned to his home in Ohio. His citizenship was reinstated in 1998 after a federal appeals court in Washington ruled that prosecutors had deliberately suppressed evidence related to whether he was Ivan the Terrible. In 2001 Demjanjuk was charged again, this time on the grounds that he had served as a guard at the Sobibor and Majdanek camps in occupied Poland and at the Flossenbürg camp in Germany. His deportation was again ordered in 2005, but after exhausting his appeals in 2008 he still remained in the United States, as no country would agree to accept him at that time. On 2 April 2009, it was announced that Demjanjuk would be deported to Germany, where he would stand trial. On 11 May, Demjanjuk left his Cleveland home by ambulance, and was taken to the airport, where he was deported by plane, arriving in Germany the next morning. On 13 July, he was formally charged with 27,900 counts of acting as an accessory to murder, one for each person who died at Sobibor during the time he served as a guard. On 30 November, Demjanjuk's trial began in Munich. It concluded on 12 May 2011, when he was convicted as an accessory to the murder of 27,900 Jews and sentenced to five years in prison. He was later released pending appeal, and lived at a German nursing home in Bad Feilnbach, where he died at age 91.
