> After his death, FBI confirmed that they know that he is innocent. Nitpick: The FBI confirmed that according to their opinion one piece of evidence was a fake.

  Major evidence is fake. Do you know any other evidences? Throughout three decades of US hearings, an extradition, a death sentence followed by acquittal in Israel, a deportation and now a trial in Munich, the arguments have relied heavily on the photo ID from an SS training camp that indicates Demjanjuk was sent to Sobibor. Claims that the card and other evidence against Demjanjuk are Soviet forgeries have repeatedly been made by Demjanjuk's defense attorneys. However, the FBI report provides the first known confirmation that American investigators had similar doubts. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4056137,00.html http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4056137,00.html

The link says he was deported for concealing his involvement with a Nazi death camp on his immigration forms. Where did the FBI confirm his innocence?

  Quote from Wikipedia: In 2011 the Associated Press had uncovered a secret 1985 FBI report which indicated that a Nazi ID card showing that Demjanjuk had served as a death camp guard was a Soviet-made fake.

It's important to note that he died naturally, and that this Wikipedia article assumes he's innocent despite there behind evidence to the contrary.

  FAKE evidence. Moreover, he was freed by Israeli Supreme Court.
