The Demjanjuk Case: A Huge Failure of Justice
by James Buchanan

In the first case against John Demjanjuk, it was claimed that he was a sadistic, murderous guard named “Ivan the Terrible.” He was extradited to Israel, spent five years in an Israeli prison and was sentenced to death. Congressman James Traficant and Pat Buchanan made it known there was conclusive evidence that the accused was not “Ivan the Terrible.” Demjanjuk was returned to the United States and many people thought that he would finally be left alone after being so horribly and wrongly persecuted for so long.
The organization prosecuting Demjanjuk is the Office of Special Investigations (OSI). They appear to prosecute only cases involving alleged Nazi war crimes while ignoring war criminals hiding in the US from Communist countries. The head of the OSI is Eli M. Rosenbaum.
Some people however were not happy about Demjanjuk escaping the original charges against him and embarrassing the people so eager to put him to death. Amazingly, a second round of persecution against John Demjanjuk was started claiming that he was a guard in a different camp. This time there wasn’t even a claim that he abused prisoners. The latest accusation was generated by the same branch of our judicial system, that came up with the completely false earlier charges. (more…)
