"Former US citizen convicted in Nazi camp deaths; Demjanjuk, 91, receives 5-year prison sentence
May 13, 2011|By David Rising, Associated Press
MUNICH — Retired US autoworker John Demjanjuk was convicted yesterday of accessory to murder as a low-level Nazi death camp guard, a groundbreaking decision setting a precedent that could open the floodgates to a new wave of prosecutions in Germany....
But the 91-year-old will spend no immediate time behind bars for now. Presiding Judge Ralph Alt ordered him released from custody pending his appeal — a process that could take at least a year.

Though such a move is common under the German system, it drew the immediate ire of some of those who had been pushing for Demjanjuk’s conviction.
“We don’t think that that’s appropriate given the heinous nature of his crimes,’’ Efraim Zuroff, the chief Nazi hunter at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said in a telephone interview from Jerusalem.

Sadly, one begins to realize that "history" is nothing but Zionist revisionism.
Still, Zuroff called the conviction “a very important victory for justice.’’
Though scores of Nazi war criminals have been tried and convicted in Germany, in this case there was no evidence that Demjanjuk committed a specific crime. His prosecution was based on the theory that if Demjanjuk was at the camp, he was a participant in the killing — the first time such a legal argument has been made in German courts.
How Kafkaesque!
Former federal prosecutor Thomas Walther, who led the investigation that prompted Germany to prosecute Demjanjuk, said that his office has numerous cases that have been investigated but shelved, which could now be reopened....
John Demjanjuk Jr. said that his father needs daily medical attention and would probably need to be moved into an assisted care facility — the costs of which would be paid by the German government — but that details are still being decided.
In handing down the court’s ruling, Alt called Demjanjuk a piece of the Nazis’ “machinery of destruction.’’
Demjanjuk sat in a wheelchair in front of the judges as they announced their verdict, but showed no reaction. He has denied the charges, but declined the opportunity to make a final statement to the court.
Integral to the prosecution’s case was an SS identity card that allegedly shows a picture of a young Demjanjuk and indicates that he trained at the SS Trawniki camp and was posted to Sobibor.
Though court experts said the card appears genuine, the defense maintains it is a fake produced by the Soviet KGB.

Yes, but WHO REALLY CARES about TRUTH when a CERTAIN POLITICAL AGENDA and CERTAIN POINT of VIEW must be PROMOTED?
The US Department of Justice’s Office of Special Investigations also has said the card is genuine, but documents recently unearthed by the AP indicate that the FBI at one time had doubts similar to those aired by Demjanjuk’s defense about the evidence, though the material was never turned over to the agency.
Isn't that OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE?
Demjanjuk, a native of Ukraine, has been stripped of his US citizenship and has been in custody in Germany since his deportation two years ago.

The first thing that raised alarm bells was the discrepancy in the numbers. Then there was the replacing of the plaque and so much more. The lack of mass graves at Treblinka (watch: video); the removal of the photographs; the lie of the First World War; the exhaustive documentation of the holohoax; the sloppy record keeping(?); the extortion racket arising from such; the outright lies; the Red Cross totals, and on and on.
