I do not consider myself a "20-year-old with noble intentions," but someone who has spent a great deal of time at PBH during the last three years working with the homeless, counselling in an afterschool program, and directing, raising funds for, and counselling in a summer camp program for kids in Dorchester.

Made out in Demjanjuk's name, it was reputedly issued at the Trawniki camp in Poland, where Soviet prisoners were trained to be death-camp guards. The defense alleges that it is a forgery by the Soviet secret police, whose purpose is to embarrass anti-Soviet Ukrainians...
