WORLD BRIEFING / GERMANY
Retired Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk has been charged with more than 29,000 counts of accessory to murder for his time as a guard at the Nazis’ Sobibor death camp. Prosecutors say they will seek his extradition from the U.S.
Demjanjuk is accused of participating in the killings in 1943 while he was a guard at the Nazi camp in occupied Poland. The 88-year-old, who lives in a Cleveland suburb, denies involvement.
His son, John Demjanjuk Jr., said his father suffers from a blood disorder and acute kidney failure and is not well enough for international travel.
