Demjanjuk trial: Former Nazi camp guard testifies
A former Soviet soldier taken prisoner during World War II has testified in the trial of John Demjanjuk that he didn@@@t know he would be used as a concentration camp guard when he agreed to work for the Nazis.Demjanjuk is accused of serving as a guard in Sobibor and is charged as an accessory to the murders of 27,900 people there. He says he was never a camp guard.Ukrainian-born Alex Nagorny told the Munich state court Wednesday that when he was recruited from a PoW camp he agreed to serve to stave off hunger.The 92-year-old said, "I was simply asked if I wanted to work and I was hungry."Millions of Soviet prisoners died in German captivity, and the defense argues those who agreed to serve the Nazis had no choice.ByREUTERS06/08/2025 07:57 AMByREUTERS06/08/2025 05:36 AMByMAARIV06/07/2025 02:33 PMByWALLA!06/07/2025 11:18 AMByREUTERS06/07/2025 03:25 AM
