Anyone else watch this? It's a 5 part Netflix documentary that was released at the beginning of the month. It tells the story of the trial of John Demjanjuk who was accused of being the notorious Treblinka (Holocaust extermination) guard "Ivan the Terrible."
I started it, but I couldn’t get into it. It did make me realize something though: I’ve gotten so jaded towards fake news/media/documentaries/things on the internet, that I’ve found myself questioning everything I see or hear. So when someone would make a comment in the show, I was so busy trying to process how it was probably taken out of context that I’d get behind while trying to analyze previous scenes.
Dude lived to be 91 . . . .. . d*mn (I googled it) ION KNow if I want to even check it . . . .seems depressing and will piss me off Rocket River
Crazy story, I remember the news coverage of him getting arrested when I was a kid. Kurt Waldheim? and others too.
Yeah I binged watched it when it came out. Interesting stuff. Y’all think he really was Ivan or not 100% convinced?
I definitely think there is/was a reasonable doubt John Demjanjuk was Ivan the terrible and I agree with the Supreme Court of Israels decision. I have to applaud the Israeli judiciary for coming to that decision too. Its hard to imagine coming to a decision you know would be so unpopular and so hurtful to so many Israelis but the rule of law has to come first.
I don't even think it's a case of reasonable doubt. I haven't watched the documentary, but in reality it turned out to be completely false and was most likely a Russian intelligence framing of him. It later turned out that he may have been a guard at ANOTHER death camp but not Ivan the Terrible.
