[CHURCH BELL RINGING] [MAN 1]
The importance of the story, to me... It's so American. Everybody came to America for a new life. John Demjanjuk came here for a new life. And several years into it, it was turned upside down. [MAN 2] John Demjanjuk had a small house. He had children. He was a family man. He fixed the kids' bikes. He worked at the Ford plant. He was a normal Cleveland guy. [MAN 3] He was living the American dream.
He was a good American citizen. Up until the government came along
and said he was Ivan the Terrible
