Description
This picture released on April 21, 2009 by the International Tracing Service (ITS) in Bad Arolsen shows the reproduction of an identity card for John Demjanjuk, then known as Ivan, from the year 1948. The former death camp guard wanted by Germany for abetting the killing of 29,000 Jews, presented himself as a Nazi victim to refugee aid workers at the end of the war, the documents indicate. Demjanjuk had himself registered in 1948 as a displaced person -- a category reserved mainly for former concentration camp prisoners and forced labourers, according to copies of records provided by the International Tracing Service (ITS) to AFP.
