Former Nazi camp guard to be extradited to Germany
Former Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk will be extradited from the
United States to Germany Sunday, a spokesman for the Germany Justice
Ministry told CNN Thursday.
Demjanjuk has been fighting charges of Nazi war crimes for well over two
decades. He was extradited from the United States to Israel, where he was
convicted in 1986 of being Ivan the Terrible, a guard at the notorious
Treblinka extermination camp. The conviction was overturned on appeal and
he returned to the United States.
The United States filed new charges against him in 1998, again alleging
that he had been a concentration camp guard. He was stripped of U.S.
citizenship and has been awaiting deportation since 2004, despite fighting
his case all the way to the Supreme Court.
