CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -- A federal judge on Thursday revoked the citizenship of John Demjanjuk, agreeing with government allegations that he guarded Nazi death camps during World War II.

Judge Paul Matia said there is enough evidence to prove that he was a guard at Nazi death and forced labor camps without eyewitness corroboration.

Sorry if this has been posted already. I did a search and couldn't find it.

Bump.

Bump.

Oh I get it, it takes a person to be a former Nazi to get their citizenship revoked, yet one can turn traitor-hand over state secrets to mortal enemies
which result in the deaths of American agents overseas, and maintain your citizenship.

Makes sense to me.

[NeoCaveman]

Isn't this double jeopardy. He's been through all this before. The Isreali Supreme Court found him not guilty years ago.

Documents presented into evidence at the trial in Israel proved Demjanjuk served in the Nazi extermination camp at Sobibor, the concentration camp at Flossenberg, and the S.S.-run Trawniki training camp for death camp guards.

While finding that there was reasonable doubt that Demjanjuk was "Ivan the Terrible of Treblinka," the Court never proclaimed him innocent of war crimes.

Is he going to be sent to Cuba?

[Physicist]

We're not in Israel, he's not being charged with a crime, and this is a different accusation.

I watched that trial---the witnesses were crazy. This man has led an exemplary life.

I read the story three times of the trial---execution of Bruno Hauptman for the Lindberg baby kidnapping--murder...he was totally innocent--railroaded by the media--police and public. He asked the Governor of New Jersey not to reopen the case but to be executed in peace to escape the public insanity!

This guy worked at a Ford plant for something like 30 years, but his English is so poor he now needs a translator?
If true, this might give a clue as to Ford's quality problems!

This is a guy that has had a rough road. But if he is guilty of the things they say he is, he deserves more than an inconvenience.

He was thought to be Ivan the Terrible. He was aquited of that. But if he was a guard at other death camps, one of them being among the worst, he deserves to be taken to task for it.

This being said, I find it difficult to completely buy off on charges 50 to 60 years old.

I'd have to see the evidence. But if it proves valid, then the guy deserves whatever he gets.

[Khepera]

OWK accuses me of being a Nazi all the time. He says this whenever I stand up for moral family values.

[Chi-townChief]

How about getting Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez out in front for this guy just like he is for old FALN members.

[CommiesOut]

I don't care. I followed the example of this dude and am safe now:
"So few were surprised in 1917 when the British fired Kakungulu. At the age of 50, he then took on the task of circumcising himself, his two grown sons and the community's 3,000 men." More
Btw, I was a guard only in camp FOR Nazis and anticommies.
It's good to kill Nazis and anticommies.

Demjanuk "proved" his "innocence" by proving that he was a camp guard at a different concentration camp.

In other words, he didn't murder those people, he was at a different concentration camp murdering some other people.

An American judge has made this decision. You see way too many 'plots' everywhere. (-:
