BERLIN — An accused Nazi concentration-camp guard living in Ohio will be deported Sunday to stand trial on murder charges in Munich, according to the German Justice Ministry.
John Demjanjuk, a native of Ukraine who emigrated to the United States in 1952, is scheduled to arrive in Munich on Monday morning, said defense lawyer Guenther Maull.
Demjanjuk, who turns 89 today, will be imprisoned immediately in Munich.
Demjanjuk’s family has said he is too frail to make the trip to Germany, let alone endure a lengthy murder trial. But the U.S. Department of Justice turned down a request to allow him to remain in the United States, his lawyer said.
