8 DEATH CAMP SURVIVORS SEEK DEMJANJUK TRIAL

Eight Nazi death camp survivors asked the Israeli Supreme Court on Thursday to try John Demjanjuk on new charges and claimed his freedom would signal forgiveness to Nazi war criminals everywhere.

The eight were at the Sobibor death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland, where 250,000 Jews perished in 1942-43.

They didn't identify Demjanjuk as a Sobibor guard, but noted that the Israeli high court had found evidence he was there as part of a unit of Ukrainian collaborators. - Associated Press
