Man Found Guilty of Helping to Murder More Than 28,000 Jews During The Holocaust, Then Released

Justice, injustice; or a combination...


"German court convicted John Demjanjuk on Thursday for his role in the killing of 28,000 Jews in the Sobibor Nazi death camp, then set the 91-year-old free because of his age.

Holocaust survivors at first welcomed the Munich court's verdict that Demjanjuk, who was exonerated in another war crimes case in Israel two decades ago, was an accessory to mass murder as a guard at Sobibor camp in Poland during World War Two.

But they then expressed dismay at Judge Ralph Alt's decision to free Demjanjuk despite handing down a five-year sentence."
