Sobibor survivor testifying in Demjanjuk trial

None

When Thomas Toivi Blatt was a prisoner at Sobibor, assigned to sort clothes and destroy documents of fellow Jews after their corpses were incinerated, it was said that the only way out of the death camp would be "with the smoke, traveling with the wind."

 

But Blatt made it out alive in a mass escape, and 66 years later he is heading to Munich to testify at the trial of John Demjanjuk, the retired Ohio autoworker who is charged with being a Ukrainian guard at Sobibor and an accessory to the murder of 27,900 people killed there. (AP)
