Germany seeks extradition of John Demjanjuk
German authorities will seek the extradition of alleged former Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk from the US to prosecute him on charges that he was involved in killing Jewish prisoners at Sobibor, the country's top Holocaust crimes prosecutor said Thursday.
John Demjanjuk, branded by the US government a Nazi death camp guard, on Wednesday asked the Supreme Court to stop his deportation to Germany, where an arrest warrant accuses him of 29,000 counts of accessory to murder during World War II. A federal appeals court in Ohio has cleared the way for deporting him.
