Jerusalem (JTA) — Sus-
pected Nazi war criminal
John Demjanjuk was official-
ly charged with four counts of
war crimes in Jerusalem
District Court last Monday.
A 25-page charge sheet,
drafted by State Attorney
Yona Blattman and her
associates, was presented
along with a request that
Demjanjuk be held in psison
pending trial which is ex-
pected to start next January
and last several months.
The case against the Ukrai-
nian born former U.S. citizen
from Cleveland, Ohio will
hinge on positive identifica-
tion of him as the 'freblinka
death camp guard, known to
inmates as "Ivan the 'Terri-
ble" because of his brutality.
Some 900,000 Jews died in
the Treblinka gas chambers
during World War II. The
guard known as "Ivan" is
said to have operated the
crematoria.
Demjanjuk is the first Nazi
war crimes suspect ever ex-
tradited to Israel for trial. He
was brought to Israel last
February and confined in an
isolation at a maximum
security prison near Ramle.
He was charged in court
with crimes against the
Jewish people; crimes against
humanity; crimes against
persecuted people; and war
crimes. Each offense carries
the death penalty and is
unique inasmuch as Israel's
statutes do not provide
capital punishment. The only
war criminal executed by
Israel was Adolf Eichmann
who was hanged 25 years ago.
The prosecution is intent
on establishing an airtight
case against the 66-year old,
retired automobile plant
worker who was stripped of
his U.S. citizenship several
years ago. During the evi-
dence-gathering process, Den-
janjuk was periodically
remanded and re-remanded in
custody. His detention was
extended last month until
October 1.
The State reportedly plans
to call some 50 witnesses, 15
of them Treblinka survivors
living in Israel or overseas. It
