Demjanjuk (dem-YAHN-yuk), a refugee from Ukraine who came to the United States in 1952, was originally accused in 1977 by the Justice Department (news - web sites) of being "Ivan the Terrible," a particularly sadistic **** guard who ran the gas chambers at the Treblinka death camp in occupied Poland.
Between 1942 and 1943, more than 850,000 Jews were murdered at Treblinka. Ivan the Terrible was a guard who herded the victims along the path to the gas chamber, hacking at his victims to speed them along.
Demjanjuk insisted he was the victim of mistaken identity.
He was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity and sentenced to be hanged in Israel. Demjanjuk eventually persuaded the Israeli Supreme Court to overturn his conviction based on new evidence that someone else was Ivan the Terrible.
He returned to his suburban Cleveland home in 1993 and avoided publicity. His U.S. citizenship, which had been revoked in 1981, was reinstated in 1998.
He then went on to be John Ashcrofts main deputy.
Ok I added that last part, but he COULD HAVE been!
