The U.S. Justice Department launched a second attempt to strip alleged Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk of his U.S. citizenship. The department’s Nazi- hunting unit, the Office of Special Investigations, filed a new complaint Wednesday accusing Demjanjuk of serving as a guard at the Sobibor extermination camp and at the Majdanek and Flossenburg concentration camps. Demjanjuk, a 79- year-old retired Cleveland auto worker, was convicted in Israel of being the infamous Nazi death camp guard “Ivan the Terrible.” He spent five years on death row before the Israeli Supreme Court overturned the ruling in 1993.
