Prosecutor Michael Shaked presented an altogether different story about Demjanjuk's past. From the POW camp in Chelm, Shaked maintains, Demjanjuk was transferred to Trawniki, an SS center used for training guards to work in the concentration camps, and then to Treblinka, where he served between October 1942 and September 1943. The prosecution's primary exhibit is ID card 1393, made out in Demjanjuk's name and supposedly issued at the Trawniki training center. The defense contends that the card is a forgery by the Soviet KGB as part of an effort to harass the Ukrainian community...
...case is further complicated by uncertainty about the fate of the real- life "Ivan." Three of Treblinka's 100 or more Ukrainian guards were killed in an abortive uprising at the camp in August 1943. Several escapees, including the late Avraham Goldfarb, have said that Ivan was among them. Last week, however, Prosecution Witness Yitzhak Arad, the director of Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, testified that Goldfarb had not seen Ivan's body and that he himself had been unable to verify Ivan's death...

As many as a dozen survivors of Treblinka have previously been unable to identify Demjanjuk as Ivan from photographs. Nonetheless, the prosecution says, it will present five of the camp's survivors who are prepared to identify John Demjanjuk as the demonic killer. The first of these eyewitnesses is expected to testify this week...
...19th century man wanted women to remain passive, dependent, domestic and obedient, and that any female who ventured to differ was regarded as at best a shrew and at worst a witch or even a vampire. He buttresses this argument with evidence from both high culture and high camp. He decries Henry James' Verena Tarrant (in The Bostonians) and Tennyson's Lady of Shalott for their dim-witted self- sacrifice, and he manages to get angry about even such endearing targets as Dracula and Trilby...
...April 1986 Hakim and Secord bought the ship outright, using money from the infamous account at the Credit Suisse Bank in Geneva that they controlled with North. They rechristened her the Erria, and she was sent to Cyprus to wait while negotiators worked to release four American hostages. Four camp beds were taken on board, and the Erria made her way to the Lebanese coast. But the deal fell through, and she was recalled to Denmark...
