Thank you for joining us for a special online panel discussion exploring Australia’s only Holocaust war crimes trial.
In the early 1990s, alleged Nazi war criminal Ivan Polyukhovich was tried in the Supreme Court of South Australia. The seventy-three-year-old man was charged with murdering Jewish people in Nazi-occupied Ukraine. Almost thirty years later, we will examine the issues surrounding this unique and complex case.
ABC Radio presenter David Bevan, the ABC and Advertiser’s court reporter for the trial and author of its account A Case to Answer, will moderate a discussion with others involved in the case: retired Supreme Court Judges, The Hon. Gregory James AM QC (prosecutor) and The Hon. Michael David QC (defence), and Emeritus Professor Dr Konrad Kwiet (Chief Historian and expert witness).
Following the informative panel presentation, you can join the discussion on this complex criminal trial by participating in a Q & A.
