Washington (JTA) — The
Justice Department's
Criminal Division is review-
ing allegations that its Of-
fice of Special Investigations
withheld exculpatory
evidence from John Demjan-
juk, who, in 1988, was tried,
convicted of war crimes and
sentenced to death by an
Israeli court.
Responding to a report by
ABC News, the department
said the matter "has a high
priority and is being given
the most careful attention.
Upon completion of the re-
view, the department will
take whatever action is ap-
propriate."
Meanwhile, the Israeli
High Court of Justice is
scheduled to hear the new
evidence this week.
Existence of the evidence
in question, recently ac-
quired from sources in the
Soviet Union, was first
disclosed in late 1990. Much
of the evidence is contained
in the court files in the case
of Feodor Fedorenko, whom
a Soviet court convicted in
June 1986 and ordered ex-
ecuted a year later for hav-
ing committed war crimes at
Treblinka.
Among the new material
are affidavits by 21 con-
victed Nazi concentration
camp guards, some of whom
identify Ivan the Terrible as
having been a Ukrainian
named Ivan Marchenko.
The name Demjanjuk does
not appear in any of the 21
statements, but prosecutors
have argued that Mr. Dem-
janjuk, in entering the
United States after the war,
wrote Marchenko as his
mother's maiden name on
one of his visa applications.
In August, Israeli pros-
ecutors were granted a four-
month delay to probe the
new evidence. At that time,
Yoram Sheftel, Mr. Demjan-
juk's lawyer in Israel,
testified that Mr. Demjanjuk
at the time could not re-
member his mother's maid-
en name and wrote Mar-
chenko because it is a com-
mon Ukrainian name.
Mr. Demjanjuk was iden-
tified at trial as "Ivan the
Terrible," the man who
operated the gas chambers
at the eastern Polish camp
of Treblinka, where an
estimated 900,000 Jews
died.
Mr. Demjanjuk, 71, a
retired Cleveland
autoworker, stood trial in
Israel after being extradited
there in 1986. He lost his
U.S. citizenship in 1981.
Israel's Supreme Court
also found in 1988 that Mr.
Demjanjuk served at the
Sobibor death camp, also in
Poland, where hundreds of
thousands of Jews died.
Elan Steinberg, executive
director of the World Jewish
Congress, criticized the
Demjanjuk defense's
reliance on Soviet evidence
to "bolster their case" after
earlier having attacked the
general reliability of Soviet
evidence.
Mr. Steinberg said that
prosecutors will present
"additional evidence" that
Mr. Demjanjuk is on a list of
concentration camp guards.
A well-placed Justice
Department official con-
firmed the existence of new
inculpatory evidence, but
would not comment on its
substance.
Mr. Demjanjuk's defense
team has denied that Mr.
Demjanjuk worked for the
Nazis at any time.
Knesset Chasid
Airs His Views
Jerusalem (JTA) — A
Chasidic member of Knesset
unleashed a furious reaction
when he told a television
talk-show host that he would
prefer women would not be
elected to public office be-
cause their place was in the
home. In fact, he would also
deny women the right to
vote.
Rabbi Moshe Ze'ev
Feldman, a yeshiva dean
and Gerer Chasid, repre-
sents the Agudat Yisrael
party, one of the three
Haredi, or Orthodox, parties
in Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir's coalition.
But the outrage of the
eight women members of
parliament, shared by many
of their male colleagues,
crossed party lines.
Sara Doron, chairwoman
of the Likud Knesset faction,
took the rostrum to remind
Rabbi Feldman that it was
largely through her efforts
that he was awarded the im-
portant post of chairman of
the Knesset Finance Com-
mittee.
"His grandmother, who
taught him that two and two
make four, obviously didn't
teach him much more than
that," Ms. Doron snapped.
Edna Solodar of the Labor
Party asked rhetorically,
"What is someone doing
here who lives in the Middle
Ages?"
