The Demjanjuk trial one year on

          The article I read talks about a trial that has taken place for about a year now.  In 1943, at the Sobibor death camp, John Demjanjuk was accused of helping to murder about 28,000 jews.  Today, he is 90 years old and still denying the charges.  The article also said his case might be the last major Holocaust trial in Germany.  John Demjanjuk has poor health so the court only meets with him three hours a day and sometimes dozes off at the hearings.  The Munich trial will continue until at least March of 2011.

         In my opinion, i think it is a little too late now that he is being put on trial for something that happened in 1943.  He is also 90 years old so they can't do much with him since he is so old.  I guess they just want him to admit what he did instead of denying.  In the American culture this would have been taken care of a long time ago though and he would have gotten punished for what he did.  I think the German culture might be a little more laid back than we are.
