The Devil Next Door

-

John Demjanjuk, a mechanic living in Ohio, caused an internatio­nal sensation in 1986 when he was deported to Israel to stand trial, accused of having been the notorious Treblinka camp guard Ivan the Terrible. The story of what happened next is full of unexpected twists s especially if you donot already know Demjanjuk’s eventual fate. As the series progresses, questions are thrown up around the nature of culpabilit­y and the quest to bring perpetrato­rs of the Holocaust to justice, even as they enter extreme old age.
