Germany – A newspaper reports that a lawyer for convicted Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk wants
Germany’s federal government to help arrange a transfer of his late client’s remains to the United States.
The 91-year-old Demjanjuk, an Ukrainian-born retired Ohio autoworker, died Saturday in southern Germany near Munich, where he had been convicted last year on 28,060 counts of being an accessory to murder.
Local German newspaper Oberbayerisches Volksblatt on Sunday quoted attorney Ulrich Busch as saying it was his client’s “greatest wish” to be buried in the U.S. where his family lives.
Demjanjuk was sentenced to five years in prison, but died a free man in a nursing home pending an appeals trial.
He had his U.S. citizenship revoked and was extradited to Germany in 2009 to face trial.

This should not be done. What a chilul H’ could be caused for this, someone who killed hundreds of jews, let him be lucky he died naurually and not killed. But that is not our department, hashem wanted him off this world whether he get killed or die is nothing to do with us, but WE should at least be responsible that his name doesn’t remain, and should get wiped out, definatly not go the US.
I think that whatever happens in Germany stays in germany! this rasha merusha died in Germany so why should he have the right to be buried in the U.S?!?
I don’t mind. His family is welcomed to come and bury him here in United States. They can bury him in, The Hudson or The Mississippi, or The Colorado, or the Passaic, or the Missouri Rivers, or any of The Great Lakes if he dosn’t mind the cold. otherwise they can bury him in The Great Salt lake.
either way the family has my invite.
Flush him………
Throw him to the bottom of the Ocean with Osama Bin Laden.
These 2 crepes will taste very tasty when mixed together, for the fish swarming the bottom of the Ocean, especially during Adar, whose Mazol is “Fish”.
Yimach Shemo vezichro!
To kaf hakela for eternity!
