68-year-old guard at Sobibór KZ John Demjanjuk, originally Ivan Mykolaiovych Demianiuk is sentenced to death in Jerusalem District Court, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel.

Demjanjuk was placed in solitary confinement during the appeals process. Carpenters started building the gallows that would be used to hang him if his appeals were rejected and Demjanjuk heard the construction from his cell. On 29 July 1993 a five-judge panel of the Israeli Supreme Court overturned the guilty verdict on appeal.
