Demjanjuk deserves no sympathy...

 

Here is child-molester, justice-evader and supreme liar giving his advice on how to think about the Demjanjuk verdict.  We have to ask why "getting Demjanjuk" is so important to the jews.

This is a follow-up to my new Denis Avey article I sent out yesterday. -Carolyn

 

Nazi criminal John Demjanjuk deserves no sympathy

The trial of the Nazi death camp guard shows why we must continue to strive for justice on behalf of the Holocaust's victims.

There were some who felt a pang of pity for John Demjanjuk yesterday, after he was found guilty for crimes committed during the Holocaust. He is, after all, now a very old man. Ill health restricted him to his wheelchair throughout his trial, as he sat silently behind dark glasses. At times it felt hard to connect this frail figure before a Munich court with the heinous crimes that were being detailed.
 
But we should waste no misplaced sympathy on a man who spent so many of the final years of his long life evading justice; we should instead save our sympathy for the 28,060 innocent men, women and children, robbed of their years by Demjanjuk and by his murdering cohorts.
 
Sobibor, where Demjanjuk was a guard, was a place of still more wanton barbarity. It was a camp dedicated solely to human extermination, in which at least 200,000 people were murdered in gas chambers. Although it operated for less than a year, from April 1942 when experiments in industrial murder first took place until October 1943, this bleak camp on the eastern fringes of Nazi-occupied Poland remains infamous as a vile place of unimaginable cruelty and evil.
 
Demjanjuk's trial confirmed an important principle: that when it comes to murder, rank is irrelevant. The old defence used at the Nuremberg trials was "Befhel ist Behfhel", or "orders are orders". But in Nuremberg – and now in Munich – it has been demonstrated that this can never be a defence to murder.
 
Yet while the guilty verdict is welcome, Demjanjuk's release pending an appeal will distress many survivors, who felt that justice could only be served if he spent his final years in prison. Now it seems that he may die a free man as well as an old man – a fact which will haunt those whose relatives, of whatever age, were murdered in Sobibor.

There have been suggestions that this will represent the end of successful Nazi war crime trials. There is no reason why this should be so. There is compelling evidence that numerous evil individuals remain at liberty in Europe,despite having committed appalling crimes during the Holocaust. It strikes me as both absurd and offensive that we should fail to strive for justice on behalf of the Holocaust's victims because of legal complexities and reluctance to try ageing suspects. Such attitudes betray a profound lack of perspective, a view which relegates victims to historical inconvenience. Those thousands, murdered in cold blood, were people like you and me – and their voices demand to be heard.
 
If John Demjanjuk were to serve his full sentence, it would represent just one day in prison for every 15 people he helped to murder. Sadly, he may never serve even this derisory term of incarceration.
 
The names of some of those victims were read out during the trial, reminding us that Demjanjuk's victims were not mere numbers, but were real people with lives, families and aspirations – brutally destroyed by murderers serving an evil ideology. At the conclusion of the trial, the sobs of victims' families could be heard, representing a powerful mixture of relief and sorrow.
 
The worst of mankind was exposed during this trial(For sure!) It should remind us why we must remain relentless in pursuit of justice – and dogged in our fight against the poisonous ideas (racism!!!) that perpetuated the Holocaust.
