Russian recalls Demjanjuk

A Russian survivor of the Sobibor Nazi death camp says he can identify accused guard John Demjanjuk, Czech Radio reported yesterday, offering potentially crucial evidence for the former soldier's trial.

Demjanjuk, who fought in the Red Army before being captured and recruited as a Nazi camp guard, is on trial in Munich, accused of participating in the killing of 27,900 Jews at the extermination camp in occupied Poland. He denies a role in the Holocaust.
