The trial of John Demjanjuk opened in Israel, where he was accused of having served as a guard at Treblinka under the name Ivan the Terrible. Survivors identified him in court, and the proceedings foregrounded the role of testimony in prosecuting Nazi-era crimes. Israel’s Supreme Court later overturned the conviction after new evidence raised reasonable doubt about his identity.
