John Demjanjuk, left, told a court in Munich on Tuesday that he was a victim of the Nazis himself, using his first major statement since his trial began to criticize Germany for prosecuting him. Mr. Demjanjuk, 90, is accused of having worked at the Sobibor death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1943 and of helping to force 27,900 Jews to their deaths. He told the court, in a signed statement read by his lawyer, that as a Soviet prisoner of war the Nazis used him as a slave laborer. Since his extradition from the United States last May, he has been in a prison near Munich.
