Survivors of the Sobibor death camp and relatives of the Jewish - TopicsExpress



          

Survivors of the Sobibor death camp and relatives of the Jewish prisoners killed there wept in court today as the names of some of the victims were read out in the trial of the 89-year-old accused of being part of the Nazi murder machine. On the second day of the trial of John Demjanjuk, accused of being accessory to the murder of 27,900 Jews at Sobibor, in Nazi-occupied eastern Poland, several co-plaintiffs sat with their heads in their hands as the names and the dates of their transport to the camp by train were listed. Demjanjuk was wheeled into the Munich court on a hospital stretcher. Dressed in a leather jacket and a blue baseball cap, and lying on his side so his back was turned to the public gallery for most of the morning session, he refused to participate in the proceedings. Demjanjuks lawyer, Ulrich Busch, said his client would exercise his right to remain silent. theguardian/world/2009/dec/01/john-demjanjuk-trial-sobibor
