- [Man] John Demjanjuk.
He was a family man.
- [Man 2] He was living
the American dream.
He was a good American citizen.
Up until the government
came along and said
he was Ivan the Terrible.
- Charges were filed today
against John Demjanjuk.
The 66 year old Ukrainian native
is accused of being a
Nazi death camp guard
named Ivan the Terrible.
- [Man 3] One of the cruelest
people who ever existed
on earth.
- [Reporter] The Israeli
government is seeking
his extradition as a war criminal.
- And that's where the drama begins.
(witness speaks in foreign language)
(Demjanjuk speaks in foreign language)
- Once the survivors began to testify,
it became a national obsession.
- [Man 4] It was a zoo.
There were news crews parked
halfway down the street.
- [Man 5] His wife couldn't believe
what was going on.
(man shouts in foreign language)
- We were looking at the fact that
we may never see him again,
and they're gonna put
him to death in Israel.
- It was a ruse.
It was all faked.
- The Justice Department
presented evidence
right from the KGB.
- I was sure that I
would destroy the show.
- [Man] There was
something rotten going on.
- My father is a very kind person,
a very gentle person.
- Are you sure you're
not making a mistake?
- Everybody in the courtroom went (gasps).
- [Man 6] Demjanjuk
could have been a monster
or a victim of wrong identity.
My deepest fear is that I
think he could be anybody.
