Did anyone else watch the Netflix docuseries, "The Devil Next Door"?

It was about John Ivan Demjanjuk. The Ukrainian man accused of being Ivan the Terrible of Treblinka and Sobibor.

He was accused of war crimes at death camps during WWII. He was living in the US working for Ford at the time of his uncovering And arrest. His trial started Mid-late 80’s in Israel.

It was really quite a story. I fully believe he was who they accused him of being. But the angle of Russian propaganda being deployed to sow division and trouble between Ukrainians and Jewish persons here in the US was also very enlightening.

If you can and have the time, I recommend watching.

He had in the end. Once a fascist always a fascist. It's who they are, and America was a safe haven for the lot. It's time they are put up in Alcatraz, where they all belong, forever.

I lived in Cleveland at the time it was headline news, so when this documentary came out I made it a point to watch it just to refresh my memory of all that happened.
