John Demjanjuk is a "suspected" and "convicted" war criminal who has been deported to Munich to begin his trial.
He was deported to Israel in the 1980s and later sentenced to death for war crimes, based on his identification by Israeli Holocaust survivors as "Ivan the Terrible", a notorious SS guard at Treblinka, who committed murder and savage acts of violence against camp prisoners.
His conviction for crimes against humanity was later overturned in 1993 because of reasonable doubt.
He was put on trial again in 2001 on charges that he had served as a guard at the Sobibor, Majdanek, and Flossenbürg on charges of accessory to 29,000 counts of murder.
He is an old man and frail, nevertheless he must face trial, so that justice must be done, for all the victims of the Holocaust.
