  • (“John”) Demjanjuk in De Periode 1940-1952
    Voor dr Jules Schelvis De werkzaamheden van Wachmann Iwan Demjanjuk (1940-1952) door Johannes Houwink ten Cate I. Inleiding Dit artikel dient om inzicht te geven in de verblijfplaatsen en de werkzaaamheden van Wachmann Iwan Demjanjuk (geboren op 3 april 1920), een uit Oekraïne afkomstige en in Trawniki bij Lublin opgeleide kampbewaker. Dit is van belang in verband met het proces tegen Demjanjuk, die nu de regering van de Bondsrepubliek aan de Verenigde Staten om zijn uitlevering heeft verzocht daar binnenkort terecht zal staan, waarschijnlijk voor medeplichtigheid aan moord op tienduizenden joden afkomstig uit het bezette Nederland, uit het Generaalgouvernement (bezet Polen) en uit de Sovjet-Unie in het vernietigingskamp Sobibor in de maanden april tot en met september 1943.1 Evenals het vernietigingskamp Treblinka is Sobibor in het najaar van 1943 geheel met de grond gelijk gemaakt, om de sporen van de misdaad uit te wissen. Het vernietigingskamp Belzec was in december 1942 buiten gebruik gesteld.2 In het najaar van 1943 werden ook de meeste, niet alle, door de daders opgestelde documenten vernietigd.3 In dit artikel ligt de nadruk niet op de (juridische) finesses van de talrijke rechtszaken waarin Demjanjuk sinds 1977 verwikkeld is geraakt, en ook zichzelf heeft verwikkeld. Demjanjuk heeft van februari 1987 tot april 1988 onder een enorme mediabelangstelling in Israël terecht gestaan. Hij werd er van beschuldigd de gevreesde Oekraïense bewaker “Iwan de Verschrikkelijke” in Treblinka te zijn geweest. Op 25 april 1988 werd Demjanjuk als “Iwan de Verschrikkelijke” in Treblinka tot de strop veroordeeld.4 Hij ging in hoger beroep en werd vrijgesproken.

  • Demjanjuk - Munich II
    Demjanjuk - Munich II Commentary by Andriy J. Semotiuk U.S. and Canadian Immigration Lawyer A fundamental principle of Western jurisprudence is individual responsibility for one's actions. In criminal law, this requires that the charges against the accused, and the accused’s responsibility for the crime, must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. In the Demjanjuk case there was no finding of individual culpability, there was instead, a PRESUMPTION of it. There was no finding of voluntariness, there was instead, a PRESUMPTION of it. That is why this case was a show trial, not a real trial. Let us be clear. No sensible human being denies the facts of the Holocaust, the loss of 6 million Jewish lives or their suffering, nor the turmoil initiated by Nazi Germany that resulted in the loss of some 50 million lives in World War II. What is being questioned, however, is the role Demjanjuk played in all that. One of the great attributes of the jurists at Nuremberg was their insistence that the accused have the ability to fairly defend themselves according to the rule of law and legal principles. Though flawed in some ways, such as its failure to prosecute even one Allied war crime, the involvement of a Soviet prosecutor and its attempt to shift the blame for the Katyn Forest massacre of Polish Officers on to the Germans, still, even with such deficiencies noted, the Nuremberg trials sought to abide by the rule of law and to find the accused guilty of INDIVIDUAL responsibility for the crimes committed. Unlike in the Demjanjuk case, in the case of the Nuremberg defendants, there was no doubt about their identity, there was no doubt about their presence where the events took place and there was little doubt about their personal involvement.

  • Heinrich Wefing Der Fall Demjanjuk Der Letzte Große NS-Prozess
    Unverkäufliche Leseprobe Heinrich Wefing Der Fall Demjanjuk Der letzte große NS-Prozess Rund 240 Seiten, Gebunden ISBN: 8-3-406-60583-3 © Verlag C.H.Beck oHG, München Wer ist John Demjanjuk? Als der Demjanjuk-Prozess am 30. November 2009 beginnt, an einem kalten, düsteren Wintermorgen in München, ist die halbe Welt zuge- schaltet. Schon um sechs Uhr in der Frühe stehen Reporter und Kame- rateams aus den Niederlanden, aus Israel, Polen, Großbritannien und den USA vor dem Betongebirge des Münchner Strafj ustizzentrums an der Nymphenburger Straße, bei kaum vier Grad über Null, dick ver- packt in Schals und Daunenjacken. Viele lockt die Story, die spektaku- läre Geschichte eines Greises, der als junger Mann ein «KZ-Scherge» gewesen sei, wie die «Bild»-Zeitung schreibt, als stehe das schon fest, ein leibhaftiger Helfer des Holocaust. Vielen Journalisten aber steht auch die historische Dimension des Verfahrens vor Augen. Dies werde der letzte bedeutende NS-Prozess in Deutschland, heißt es. Noch einmal, mehr als sechzig Jahre nach Kriegsende, werde sich die Bundesrepublik mit den Verbrechen der Nationalsozialisten ausein- andersetzen müssen. Noch einmal, vielleicht zum letzten Mal, muss in einem großen Verfahren vor Gericht nicht nur die Schuld des Ange- klagten verhandelt, sondern auch die Geschichte des Holocaust aufge- rollt werden – und die Geschichte der Strafverfolgung nationalsozialis- tischen Unrechts nach dem Krieg. Noch einmal würde die Frage gestellt werden: Wie konnte der Judenmord geschehen? Und wer waren diejenigen, die das Menschheitsverbrechen begangen haben? Ob der Demjanjuk-Prozess wirklich der letzte seiner Art sein wird, 15 ist schwer zu sagen. Noch sind die Fahndungslisten der Justizbehörden nicht geschlossen, noch leben einige hochbetagte Männer und Frauen, die mit Anfang zwanzig in die Verbrechen der Nationalsozialisten ver- strickt waren.

  • Operation Reinhard”: Extermintation Camps of Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka Yitzhak Arad
    “Operation Reinhard”: Extermintation Camps of Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka Yitzhak Arad Soon after the task forces had began their campaign of extermination in the occupied areas of the Soviet Union, the deputy of the Governor General Hans Frank, Secretary of State Dr. Buehler, remarked at the Wannsee Conference: …that the General Government would welcome it if a start were to be made on the final solution of this question in the General Government, because here transportation does not pose a real problem nor would the deployment of a labor force interfere with the process of this operation. Jews should be removed from the area of the General Government as quickly as possible, because it is here that the Jew represents a serious danger as a carrier of epidemics, and in addition his incessant black marketeering constantly upsets the country's economic structure. Of the approximately 2.5 million Jews in question, the majority are anyway unfit for work. Secretary of State Dr. Buehler furthermore stated that the solution of the Jewish question in the General Government is under the control of the Chief of the Security Police and the SD and that his activities are supported by the authorities in the General Government. He [Buehler] has only one request: that the Jewish question in this region be solved as quickly as possible.1 Dr. Buehler's request was given a positive response. The General Government consisted of the districts of Warsaw, Cracow, Lublin, Radom, and Lvov. According to the estimate of the German authorities, they were inhabited by approximately 2,284,000 Jews.

  • The Legal and Historical Significance of the Munich Trial of John Demjanjuk
    ‘A Trial By History’ The Legal and Historical Significance of the Munich trial of John Demjanjuk Guy Elston 12277916 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts History - Holocaust and Genocide Studies Universiteit van Amsterdam Thesis Advisor: Dr. Karel Berkhoff Second Reader: Prof. Dr. Nanci Adler June 30th, 2020 1 ABSTRACT The Munich trial of John Demjanjuk of 2009-2011 was the final act in the defendant’s decades of legal travails. It was widely covered and commented upon by an international academic and media audience. Reaction to the trial was highly divided, thanks in large part to the exceptional nature of its legal processes in comparison to previous German trials of low-ranking perpetrators of the Holocaust. This thesis questions what the trial’s significance was both in terms of its place in the legal record of German Holocaust prosecutions, and also in German collective memory of the Holocaust. A brief history of German coming-to-terms with the Holocaust is established, as well as the legal record of Holocaust trials in Germany, to set the context for the Munich trial. Separate historiographies cover Demjanjuk’s wartime activities, his previous trial in Jerusalem, and the Munich trial. Particular attention is given to legal scholars, helping to determine the legally noteworthy aspects of the Munich trial. These include the treatment of the matters of functional participation and putative necessity. The most significant aspects of media and academic reaction to the trial are established. These include the defendant’s age and infirmity, his alleged victimisation during the Second World War, his alleged revictimisation by the trial’s processes, and the alleged political motives of the trial.

Sie sind so etwas wie ein „Gruppenexperiment“. 1955 hat Friedrich Pollock für das Frankfurter Institut für Sozialforschung einen Studienbericht unter diesem Titel herausgegeben. Grundla- ge bildeten zahlreiche Gruppendiskussionen, die durch einen prä- parierten Reiztext angeregt worden waren. In diesen Diskussionen wurde die ganze Spannbreite politischer Orientierungen und viel- fach geteilter moralischer Gefühle der deutschen Nachkriegsgesell- schaft zum Sprechen gebracht. Das Fritz Bauer Institut soll durch pädagogische und wissen- schaftliche Arbeit über den Holocaust aufklären. Nicht zufällig trägt es den Namen eines der großen jüdischen Staatsanwälte, der in Frankfurt am Main gegen erbitterte Widerstände den aufsehener- regenden Auschwitz-Prozess in Gang gebracht hatte. So haben wir Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, uns entschlossen, in der aktuellen Ausgabe unseres Bulletins den Prozess gegen John Demjanjuk ins Zentrum zu stellen.

  • La Ribelo En La KC Sobiboro, Oktobro 1943
    LA TOTALA KOŜMARO LA RIBELO EN LA KC SOBIBORO, 14a de OKTOBRO 1943 Memore pri la liberigo de la naziaj koncentrejoj antaŭ la militfino antaŭ 75 jaroj en 1945, kaj aparte pri la ribelo en la nazia ekstermejo Sobiboro en oktobro 1943 en Pollando Memore pri Robert Kuwałek (1966-2014)1 De Andreas Künzli (Svislando) Enkonduko La 1an de septembro 1939 la germana armeo atakis, invadis kaj okupis Pollandon. Kvankam la (malforta) pola armeo iom defendis sin, ĝi kapitulacis du semajnojn post la germana atako. Samtempe la sovetia armeo okupis la orientan flankon de Pollando kaj do dividis ĝin kune kun Germanio, por la kvara fojo, post la fatalaj tranĉoj en la 18a jarcento. La germanoj do kreis la kondiĉojn por la generado de nova „vivspaco” por la germana popolo, je la kostoj de la poloj kaj judoj, kiuj devis estis forpelitaj de okcidenta Pollando al la nove kreita Ĝenerala Gubernio en sudorienta Pollando, post kiam la plano sendi la judojn al Madagaskaro fiaskis. Genezo de la kontraŭjuda amasmurdo (holokaŭsto) Ekzistas neniu dubo, ke la ekstermado de la juda popolo en Eŭropo formis integran parton de la programo de la germanaj nacisocialistoj. Sed kiel, kial kaj kiam la nazioj venis al la definitiva decido ordoni ne nur la forigon de la judoj de la Germana Regno, sed ankaŭ la mortigon de ili ĉiuj en Eŭropo, estas diskutata kaj kontestata en la historiografio. Ne klaras, ĉu ĉi tiu decido estis la rekta rezulto de la radikala antisemitisma „programo“ de Hitler, kiel supozas kelkaj historiistoj, aŭ ĉu ĝi estis spontana ago inter la nacisocialistoj, ĉe kiuj ekzistis rivalantaj pozicioj.
