Demjanjuk charged in Nazi camp deathsBy Sam Untermyer, submitted by Anonymous on سبت, 14/03/2009 - 04:19

MUNICH, Germany, March 12 (UPI) -- German prosecutors have charged 88-year-old retired Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk with complicity in the deaths of 29,000 Jews at a Nazi concentration camp. A Munich court's arrest warrant seeks Demjanjuk's deportation or extradition from the United States. Demjanjuk, who lives in a Cleveland suburb and was stripped of his U.S. citizenship, denies involvement in the deaths at Sobibor. His family says he has kidney and blood disorders and is too ill to survive a lengthy prosecution in another country. Sobibor was an extermination camp set up in occupied Poland's Lublin region in 1942. Jews, including Jewish Soviet prisoners of war, and possibly gypsies were transported there by rail and suffocated in gas chambers fed with carbon monoxide released from the exhaust pipes of tanks, historical records show. U.S. and German authorities allege Demjanjuk worked as a Sobibor Nazi guard in 1943. If Demjanjuk is transferred to Munich, his case could mark Germany's final major Nazi war-crimes trial, The Washington Post (NYSE:WPO) reported. "We're extremely pleased that the decision was finally made (to issue Demjanjuk's arrest warrant)," Simon Wiesenthal Center Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff told the newspaper. "We're talking about someone who was an active participant in mass annihilation." A U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment on the case's next steps but told the Post U.S. officials were "in close contact with our German counterparts on this matter and we will continue to offer our support and assistance."

Re: Demjanjuk charged in Nazi camp deaths
It's easy to prosecute somebody who was, at least to some extent, complicit in crimes committed by a government that lost a war 64 years ago. I'll be far more impressed if a German prosecutor goes after any German official, arms dealer, or whatever, who is and/or has been complicit in the decades-long, ongoing crime spree of the Israeli state or the criminal U.S. aggression against Yugoslavia, Iraq or Afghanistan.
I'm not holding my breath, though.
