At the begining of the year a document-ID that matches his name links him to Sobibor Camp.
The charge is :
He could be sentenced with 15 years imprisonment in Münich in the next few months.charged with 27,900 counts of acting as an accessory to murder, one for each person who died at Sobibor during the time he is accused of serving as a guard at the Nazi death camp.
He denies being a camp guard at Sobibor.
He was deported to Israel in 1986 and later sentenced to death there in 1988 for war crimes during the years 1942-1943, His conviction of war crimes was later overturned by the Israeli Supreme Court in 1993 due to a finding of reasonable doubt based on evidence suggesting that Demjanjuk had in fact, been a guard at camps besides the one at Treblinka and that it was a case of mistaken identity.
On Monday he was brought in via a Wheel Chair and had his eyes shut, The German Prosecution had seen footage of him walking a few days before and the case was cleared to start.
The German Prosecution team have come under fire from Mr Demjanjuks Lawyer after questions of the legality of the case in Germany due to the Crimes he is charged with did not happen in Germany nor was he of German Origin. Moreover the fact that Mr Demjanjuk is sufferering Leucemia and that he is unfit for the trial They also stated that he would not lasteven one year if he will have to serve the 15 years.
But the Prosecution team stated they have sufficient evidence.
A Testimony will come from the interrogation statements of a former guard called Ignat Danilchenko, who claimed Demjanjuk was an "enthusiastic" guard at Sobibor.
Also a testimony from Thomas Blatt a 92 year old Sobibor Survivor.
So what would happen him if he is aquitted, he will spend the rest of his life in a German Home for the elderly on German Tax money.
His son speaks out when he was deported.
