Demjanjuk was found guilty of atrocities commited as a guard in a concentration camp, but was later released when it was learned that the real `Ivan the Terrible` had died years before the trial. In 2019 Netflix unveiled a multi-part documentary series on the trial, making extensive use of archival footage.
