Nazis and their collaborators
allows the evidence of de-
ceased witnesses to be pre-
sented in such cases if the
court considers it necessary.
The prosecution witness,
Abraham Goldfarb, who died
several years ago, made a
positive identificatin of De-
mjanjuk as "Ivan the Terri-
ble" from a photograph
shown to him in May 1976,
according to testimony by Is-
rael Police researcher Maria
Raddifker.
The photograph was No. 16
in a portfolio of photograph of
suspected war criminals,
Raddifker said. Goldfarb, who
had been on the forced labor
squad that built the gas
chambers at Treblinka,
picked out Demjanjuk's photo
and became "very excited."
He said it was "Ivan Grozny"
(Ivan the Terrible), Raddifker
testified.
He also recognized another
war criminal, Federenko, but
could not remember his
name, she said. According to
Raddifker, Goldfarb told her
that from his mechanics
workshop at the camp he
could see Ivan running the
diesel engine that pumped
deadly gas into the chamber.

Canadians Fund
Demjanjuk Case

Toronto (JTA) — Canada's
large Ukranian community is
raising money for the defense
of John Demjanjuk, currently
on trial in Israel for crimes
against humanity and the
Jewish people. There are
about 600,000 Ukrainians in
Canada.
According to Peter Jacyr
ofMississauga, 1,340 Ukrai-
nians across Canada have so
far donated $120,000. The
Ukrainian community in To-
ronto has started a Demjan-
juk defense fund. His son-in-
law, Ed Nishnic, came to To-
ronto to help.
The Ukrainian-born De-
mjanjuk, a retired automobile
worker from Cleveland, Ohio,
was extradited to Israel last
year. So far in his trial, four
Holocaust survivors have pos-
itively identified him as the
sadistic Treblinka death
camp guard known as "Ivan
the Terrible" who operated
the gas chambers.
Nishnic told the Toronto
Star, "We could lose this case
through financial default.
Our finances are about to be
tapped out." He said money
was needed for legal expenses
and the cost of sending ex-
perts to Israel to testify for
Demjanjuk. The accused war
criminal is defended by an
American lawyer, Mark
O'Connor, who contends that
Demjanjuk is a victim of mis-
taken identity.
