Prosecutors say Demanjuk is fit to stand trial

MUNICH — German prosecutors say doctors have determined that John Demjanjuk is fit to stand trial over allegations that he was an accessory to murder at a Nazi death camp.

Munich prosecutors say in a statement Friday that they expect to file formal charges later this month.

They say doctors have determined the 89-year-old is fit to face trial on condition that court sessions do not exceed two 90-minute periods per day.

The retired auto worker is accused of being an accessory to murder in 29,000 cases at the Sobibor camp.

The longtime Ohio resident was deported in May after losing a court battle to stay in the United States.

In yet another attempt to assuage their guilt -- and give the Jews their demanded pound of flesh, no matter whose -- a doddering, sick old man will pay the ultimate price for...for what? Something he may or may not have done over 60 years ago? Based on 60-year old MEMORY of what the killer looked like when he was 20something?

The Nazis kept records in excruciating detail of who did what to whom, how they did it, and when they did it...yet no such convincing records of this old man's complicity are found.

It is time for the Jews to assess their own guilt in their continuing vendetta against anything German or German-associated from that era. They play the eternal victim well... They have, after all, several thousands of years to draw upon. Ever wonder why?

We played our politically-correct part in this farce, too...

No, I am not anti-Jew; they, too, deserve their peaceful place in the sun...but without their rancor toward innocents -- if such can be said of anyone in that time and place. Brother literally turned in brother for an extra crust of bread and a piece of cheese in those times. Jews included.
