A former Nazi concentration camp guard testified that he was not able to positively identify alleged war criminal John Demjanjuk as the sadistic overseer “Ivan the Terrible,” involved in the gas-chamber murders of 850,000 Jews. Otto Horn, 83, ended three days of testimony before members of an Israeli court who traveled to West Berlin to question him. Demjanjuk, a retired U.S. auto worker who was stripped of his citizenship and extradited to Israel for trial, claims the charges against him are a case of mistaken identity.
