Useful Enemies: John Demjanjuk and America’s Open Door Policy for Nazi War Criminals
Richard Rashke
Sorry!
No performances are currently available.
John “Iwan” Demjanjuk was at the center of one of history’s most complex war crimes trials. But why did it take sixty years for the US to bring him to justice as a Nazi collaborator?
The answer lies in the annals of the Cold War, when fear and paranoia drove American politicians and the military to recruit “useful” Nazi war criminals to work as spies and saboteurs, and to slip them into America through loopholes in immigration policy.
Please note: this event has been rescheduled from its original Jan 15 date.
