December Date
For Demjanjuk
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
Israeli Supreme Court will
hear John Demjanjuk's ap-
peal next December, it was
announced Monday. The
court's registrar, Judge
Shmuel Tzur, said the appeals
board would consist of a panel
of five justices.
Appeal became mandatory
when the death sentence was
pronounced April 25 on the
Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk
by a three judge Jerusalem
district court. Demjanjuk was
found guilty on April 18 of
war crimes and crimes
against the Jewish people.
He was convicted under the
Nazi and Nazi Collaborators
Law of 1950, which carries a
mandatory death penalty.
The court determined that
evidence presented during
the 14-month trial proved
beyond a reasonable doubt
that Demjanjuk was the
Treblinka death camp guard,
known as "Ivan the 'Terrible,"
who operated the gas
chambers and brutalized
Jewish inmates.

Ketubah Nets
Record Bid
Jerusalem (JTA) — An 18th-
Century Italian ketubah
(Jewish marriage contract)
was auctioned for a record
$47,300 at Sotheby's Judaica
sale here. It was not only the
historic value and beauty of
the elaborately illuminated
document, but the hint of a
romantic triangle which may
have accounted for the bid,
which was about $16,000
higher than the best price
previously offered for such an
item.
The ketubah, dating from
1732, went to a private
American collector last week.
Decorated with birds, flowers,
pillars and figures, it is "a
prized possession" of "great
dramatic and literary value,"
in the opinion of Sotheby's
consultant on Jewish books
and manuscripts, Professor
Chimen Abramsky of Univer-
sity College in London.
