Relatives of Holocaust victims tell of their grief in Demjanjuk trial
Relatives of Jewish Holocaust victims murdered by the Nazis spoke of their pain in the trial of alleged former death camp guard John Demjanjuk.
The Munich court was told of how families had been rounded up during the Second World War before being taken away and killed.
Concentration camp survivors are among 30 plaintiffs in an action that claims Demjanjuk assisted in the murders of at least 27,900 people at the Sobibor concentration camp between March and September 1943.
Demjanjuk, 89, sat in a wheelchair with his eyes shut wearing a baseball cap during the proceedings.
