ID Cards:
The 4 cards of Bondarenko, Demjanjuk, Juchnowski and Wolembachow stem
from the 1986-1988 Jerusalem trial. The 7 high-resolution colour jpg
images are associated with the 2009 Munich trial. The medium-resolution
B/W jpg image of the back (or inside) of the Bondarenko card stems from
the Jerusalem trial. The two low-resolution color Trawniki2626 jpg
images are from an external source.
The Munich Indictment
and the Houwink to Schelvis
pdf files stem from the 2009 Munich trial.
PDF files:
Most of the 51 pdf
files in
this list were compiled by the Office of Special Investigations (OSI)
in the United States for the second denaturalization trial of John
Demjanjuk May 29 to June 07, 2001. These are very low-resolution B/W
images of poor quality photocopies of a large number of ID cards and
translations thereof.
Two of the cards from Poland (#941) and Moller Printers (#1233) are
completely different (plus an extra card in #2537). Although the other
cards are similar, there are 3 variations which we have labelled as A,
B and C:
- The four original cards from the Jerusalem trial are the A variation,
which includes a curved letter "t" and an almost missing umlaut in the
word "Schnürshuhe". We have tentatively put 31 of the cards into this
category. Red asteriks after the A*
indicate that all 3 required signatures are present.
- The B variation
has a
straight letter "t", a clearly visible umlaut in "Schnürshuhe", but a
misspelled word "empfagen" rather than "empfangen". It also has
completely different wording at the top of the first page of the card
(which we label as "back" or "outside").
- The C variation
is similar to the B variation, except that the misspelled word
"emfagen" has been corrected.
Z. Bazilevskaya
was the MGB translator, whose signature and date of translation appears
on many of the cards.

It is possible that there are many other such ID cards floating around
in the world. Should anyone have access to such cards, we would be
pleased to receive high-resolution coloured images of them as
attachments to Emails sent to [email protected] .
