The Demjanjuk Farce: Germany Prepares a Show Trial
Pajamas Media ^ | May 21, 2009 | John Rosenthal

Posted on 05/21/2009 5:14:40 PM PDT by blackminorca

Germany’s pursuit of Demjanjuk creates the impression that Germany is extraordinarily thorough about prosecuting Nazi war crimes. And this indeed must be the point of the exercise — because the reality could hardly be more different.

What a joke - the leftist German government want us to believe that the only Nazis left anymore are Ukrainians and Poles and Latvians....And Russia wants to mandate Communist Genocide Denial.

The guy should be tried for the simple fact that he was an UAW worker for 30+ years...

*Ducking* :)

I'm not sure what to think of this... if the highest court in Israel throws out a Nazi war crimes conviction and other charges cannot be brought there, that should say quite a bit about the case against Demjanjuk.

I'm wondering what evidence the Germans have that the Israelis did not.

He hasn't been convicted of anything yet and has even been acquitted of being the so called Ivan the Terrible.

but what the hell, lets kill him and while we're at it, lets shoot the Abu Ghraib guards while we're at it. At least they were volunteers.........

Stupid comment. Germany doesn't have a death penalty.

“I’m wondering what evidence the Germans have that the Israelis did not.”

Actually, he was already charged with being a guard at Sobibor (and Trawnicki)in the Israeli Supreme Court indictment.

He was found not guilty of being in ANY camp based on the fact that none of the witnesses said he was there - in fact one survivor who knew all the guards (he was assigned to their dorm) was emphatic in saying he was NOT a camp guard.

Sure, I have a sister. Just one. She’s a liberal, femi-nazi, hate-fomenting, non-producing member of society, 0bama-voting, government employed lesbian, who also has a criminal record. Embezzlement.

I think that about covers it. Oh, wait. She changes religious affiliation at will. She was raised Lutheran, but she’s been Jewish, a Buddhist and an Agnostic and a Wicca. She’s had her ‘Goth’ phase and her faked suicide attempt, too. She has ‘number’ tattoos on her that make her look like she was in a Holocaust death camp. She’s currently involved in one of those mega-churches that is sucking money out of her pockets like there’s no tomorrow. She defaulted on $20K in student loans which my parents co-signed for, and as if that wasn’t enough, stuck my parents for tens of thousands of dollars in credit card bills. She has never used her college degree to earn a living. She is very good about getting a job. Keeping a job? It can’t be done. Everyone is out to get her...

*Rolleyes*

She can’t cook but she makes up for that by drinking a lot of vodka. Personal grooming? Actually pretty good! She’s been in ‘therapy’ since she was 21 and blames our parents for EVERYTHING. She weighs about 250 lbs. (We were raised in a Midwestern, Middle Class Family. Same two parents; same genetics.)

Still interested? LOL!

Solely based on evidence provided by the KGB? Of course they would never forge any evidence, now would they?

This man has been tried in Israel already and aquitted. I would think that process would be the most thorough of all.

Yes - after the Israeli Supreme Court ruled Demjanjuk “not guilty” and set his release from death row, there was an unprecedented “petition” to the court that delayed his release for another few months - the petition to keep him in jail was denied.
...............

“On August 18, 1993 the Supreme Court of Israel sitting as the High Court of Justice gave its decision on 10 petitions brought by survivors of the Holocaust and others demanding that John (Ivan) Demjanjuk should be brought to trial on charges of war-crimes at Sobibor and other concentration camps. These petitions follow the decision of the Supreme Court to acquit Demjanjuk, by reason of doubt, of the brutal offenses attributed to Ivan the Terrible of Treblinka.

The court of three judges dismissed the petitions.”

He lied to U.S. immigration about working in a death camp. Had he told the truth he would have been denied permission emigrate to the U.S. At this point I don't care if the Germans give him a trial, a parade or park him in rest home. I'm just glad he's the hell out of here.

Sadly, it’s 100% true. She’s a basket case. :(
