Demjanjuk's legal odyssey began in 1975, when American investigators received evidence alleging that the Cleveland autoworker and naturalized US citizen had collaborated in Nazi genocide. In the years that followed, Demjanjuk was twice stripped of his American citizenship and sentenced to death by a Jerusalem court as Ivan the Terrible of Treblinka--only to be cleared in one of the most notorious cases of mistaken identity in legal history. Finally, in 2011, after eighteen months of trial, a court in Munich convicted the native Ukrainian of assisting Hitler's SS in the murder of 28,060 Jews at Sobibor, a death camp in eastern Poland. An award-winning novelist as well as legal scholar, Douglas offers a compulsively readable history of Demjanjuk's bizarre case. The Right Wrong Man is both a gripping eyewitness account of the last major Holocaust trial to galvanize world attention and a vital meditation on the law's effort to bring legal closure to the most horrific chapter in modern history.-- $c Jacket. 600 10 $a Demjanjuk, John $x Trials, litigation, etc. 650 0 $a War crime trials $z United States. 650 0 $a War crime trials $z Israel. 650 0 $a War crime trials $z Germany. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh91002408 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Atrocities. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85148285 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85061515 600 17 $a Demjanjuk, John. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00202111 611 07 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958866 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 7 $a Atrocities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00820727 650 7 $a Trials. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156290 650 7 $a War crime trials. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170459 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 $a Israel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204236 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1939 - 1945 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012059.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6CF78F8EE55411E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
