Why now after all these years? Is there new, credible evidence? If so, what?
According to the article, Demjanuk listed Sobibor as a residence. There’s evidence he was trained at Trewinki, an SS facility for training subject people’s guards for SS camps. Sobobor was a straight up [like Treblinka] extermination camp. Very little forced labor. If Demjanuk was a guard there, they can nail him on a conspiracy/ RICO type theory. I believe that’s what they’re going with - on 29,000 counts of murder.
I assume the West Germans held off in deference to Israel, which wanted to try him because the Israelis thought he was Ivan, who individually [I believe] killed inmates. Once he was sentenced to death, there was no reason for West Germany to try him [no death penalty]. The reversal of his conviction put everything back on the table.
How much of that evidence were Soviet forgeries?
There is no statute of limitations for murder.
Is there new, credible evidence?
A trial will determine this.
If so, what?
Put it to a jury and if he is guilty, convict him.
