For those of us who have watched the film, Escape from Sobibor, here's a connect.

A German court found John Demjanjuk guilty today, of helping to kill 27,900 Jews at the Nazi death camp Sobibor during the Holocaust.

The Munich court sentenced the 91-year-old to five years in prison as an accessory to mass murder as a guard at the Polish camp during World War II. Defense attorneys had said during the 18-month trial they would appeal any guilty verdict, says a Reuters report.
