MUNICH — John Demjanjuk moved one step closer to another trial after German prosecutors said Friday that doctors had deemed the 89-year-old fit to go to court on charges of being an accessory to murder at the Sobibor Nazi death camp.
A Dutch group representing members of victims’ families who hope to serve as co-plaintiffs in the trial welcomed the decision to try the retired autoworker, who was recently deported from his suburban Ohio home.
Munich prosecutors accuse Demjanjuk of being a guard at the death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II. They allege that he was an accessory to murder in 29,000 cases.
