Demjanjuk's legal odyssey began in 1975, when American investigators received evidence alleging that the Cleveland autoworker and naturalized US citizen had collaborated in Nazi genocide. In the years that followed, Demjanjuk was stripped of his American citizenship and sentenced to death by a Jerusalem court as Ivan the Terrible of Treblinka--only to be cleared in one of the most notorious cases of mistaken identity in legal history. Finally, in 2011, after eighteen months of trial, a court in Munich convicted the native Ukrainian of assisting Hitler's SS in the murder of 28,060 Jews at Sobibor, a death camp in eastern Poland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn award-winning novelist as well as legal scholar, Douglas offers a compulsively readable history of Demjanjuk's bizarre case. \u003ci\u003eThe Right Wrong Man\u003c\/i\u003e is both a gripping eyewitness account of the last major Holocaust trial to galvanize world attention and a vital meditation on the law's effort to bring legal closure to the most horrific chapter in modern history.\u003c\/p\u003e-- \"Cleveland Jewish Star\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691178257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.60w x 1.00d","brand":"Lawrence Douglas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36640163987612,"sku":"9780691178257","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_855a82b9-9009-4cc2-8fda-3df33c1a42c1.jpg?v=1603851546","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-right-wrong-man-john-demjanjuk-and-the-last-great-nazi-war-crimes-trial-9780691178257","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
