Remembrance Institute still looking for SS criminals

Dymitro S., Bronislaw H., Jacob R., and a man known under the pseudonym 'Iwan Grozny' are men who from 1942 until July 1944 participated in the extermination of Jews in death camps located in Blzec, Sobibor and Treblinka as well as at a labor camp in Poniatowa. They were also involved in the liquidation of ghettos in Bialystok, Czestochowa, Lublin and Warsaw. According to the National Remembrance Institute, 'Iwan Grozny' was notorious for his ruthlessness and exceptional cruelty toward his victims in Treblinka. During a 1986 trial in Israel he was identified as Iwan Demianiuk, however there was insufficient evidence to secure a conviction. "We would like to establish who 'Iwan Grozny' is and to bring him to justice. There is evidence that he is still alive," said Andrzej Witkowski of the Institute. There is still an inquiry in progress into the remaining SS men. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) A.C.
