An American documents expert told an Israeli court trying alleged war criminal John Demjanjuk that a Nazi identity card in the defendant’s name had been altered. Edna Robinson, a graphology and documents expert from Panama City, Fla., said that the signature on the card from the Trawniki training camp was not Demjanjuk’s and that an original photograph had been replaced. “I reached an unqualified opinion that the signature on the I.D. card is not by the same writer who wrote Demjanjuk on the standards,” Robinson said, referring to examples of the defendant’s signatures on other documents.
