Though Demjanjuk may not be the Ivan of Treblinka, evidence suggests he was a Wachmann elsewhere, notably at the Sobibor death camp in Poland. The Supreme Court could convict him on those charges or order that he be tried anew. However, scant proof exists of what Demjanjuk may have done at the other camps.

The final words of Matura's play are lifted straight from Synge. Toussaint makes them agonizingly her own, proving anew that English is not just a cultural artifact but a potent instrument for use by any artist...
