German court convicts then frees Demjanjuk
A German court convicted John Demjanjuk on Thursday for his role in the killing of 27,900 Jews in the Sobibor Nazi death camp during the Holocaust, then set the 91-year-old free because of his age.
A German judge has for the first time ordered an ill John Demjanjuk to appear in court for his trial over allegations that he was a guard at the Nazis' Sobibor death camp.
