Berlin – German officials are expecting war-crimes accused John Demjanjuk, 89, to arrive in Germany on Tuesday, according to Justice Ministry officials in Berlin speaking to the German Press Agency dpa.They said Monday his expulsion from the United States was entirely a US responsibility. Germany issued a warrant for in March for his arrest.

“From the present state of knowledge, he’ll arrive in Germany int the course of the day,” a ministry spokesman said.

Demjanjuk has exhausted all his legal option to block his deportation to Germany to stand trial as an accessory to the murder.

German authorities allege that Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk, then 23, worked from March to September 1943 as a guard in Nazi-occupied Poland at the Sobibor concentration camp, where at least 29,000 Jews were executed during that time.

Following World War II, Demjanjuk lived in Germany as a refugee until 1952 when he translated his first name from Ivan to its English form John and moved to the United States.

Demjanjuk was acquitted in 1993 by the Israeli Supreme Court of charges that he worked at a different death camp, Treblinka, saving him from the death sentence of a lower court in Israel. But when he returned to the United States, he was stripped of his US citizenship. (dpa)
