Trials of John Demjanjuk

"In 1987 Cleveland auto worker John Demjanjuk was accused of being Ivan the Terrible of Treblinka and brought to trial in Jerusalem for crimes against humanity. In 1988 he was sentenced to hang, but in 1993, acquitted. In 2002 his American citizenship was revoked - for the second time. Was he guilty? And of what exactly? The Trials of John Demjanjuk probes the nature of guilt and the need for retribution as the circus of the public trial transforms the courtroom into cabaret, lawyers into Nazis, and survivors into singing emcees."--BOOK JACKET.
