Chris H @RT60525826 Apr 3, 2026 It goes without saying that this is not an easy watch. We don't see much of the suspect's life in the USA, but he is presented as normal enough - except that when he came to the country he admitted he had been a guard at the Sobibor death camp and, it seems, nobody cared. It's impossible to sympathise with John Demjanjuk but, on the evidence presented, it seems he really wasn't Ivan the Terrible. Emotions are shown to battle historic evidence in this documentary. Should he have been hanged anyway is the question? See more Flixster F @RT77094268 Aug 28, 2024 While it's predictable (apparently!), it's interesting to see how far the guy goes to save his skin.

This is in many senses the stories of post WW2, the US and Israel in a combined nutshell, and about them no one can ever be determined.
