Episode 97: A Nazi in Cleveland

This week we're talking about John Demjanjuk, a man from Cleveland Ohio who spent nearly 40 years defending himself against the allegations that he was Ivan the Terrible, the name of a legendarily cruel concentration camp guard at Treblinka. After living out a normal life in Cleveland after immigrating in the 50s, evidence arose to suggest he had taken part in those crimes. He always maintained his innocence, but it took two extraditions and many years to finally put the argument to rest.
