During the period under review, the most significant progress in prosecuting Nazi war criminals has been made in Germany. This is clearly the result of the dramatic change instituted several years ago vis-à-vis suspected Holocaust perpetrators who served in death camps or Einsatzgruppen, who can now be successfully convicted of accessory to murder based on service alone. Previously, prosecutors had to be able to prove that a suspect had committed a specific crime against a specific victim and that the crime had been motivated by racial hatred to be able to bring a case to court.

LINDERT By K Lesli Ligorner Fetching the newspaper from your porch, you look up and wave at your elderly neighbor across the street. This quiet man emigrated to the United States from Europe in the 1950s. Upon scanning the newspaper, you discover his picture on the front page and a story revealing that he guarded a notorious Nazi concen- tration camp. How would you react if you knew that this neighbor became a natu- ralized citizen in 1962 and that naturalization requires "good moral character"? The systematic persecution and destruction of innocent peoples from 1933 until 1945 remains a dark chapter in the annals of twentieth century history. Though the War Crimes Trials at Nilnberg' occurred over fifty years ago, the search for those who participated in Nazi-sponsored persecution has not ended.

  • SUMMER 2019 NEWSLETTER Baltic Leaders Celebrate Independence
    SUMMER 2019 NEWSLETTER Baltic Leaders Celebrate Independence One hundred years ago, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe declared their independence amid collapsing empires. A generation of Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Poles, and others from the region set out to determine their own future and enjoyed independence until the Nazis and Soviet communists conspired in 1939 to invade and then occupy their homelands. In the 1980s, Europe’s Captive Nations led the dismantling of the Soviet Union and are once again free, prosperous, and vital members of the free world. On November 14, 2018, we convened hundreds of friends of freedom in Washington, DC’s Union Station for the Triumph of Liberty Annual Conference and Gala Dinner, to remember the vic- tims, celebrate the heroes, and commit Left to right: H.E.

    DRAFT OF DOVID KATZ’S PAPER “Free Trade Awry? On the Export of ‘Double Genocide’ Revisionism” that appeared in the 2017 volume MEDIEVALES 63: De Christine de Pizan à Hans Robert Jauss Etudes offertes à Earl Jeffrey Richards par ses collègues et amis à l’occasion de son soixante- cinquième anniversaire Textes recueillis par Danielle Buschinger et Roy Rosenstein Presses du “Centre d’Études Médiévales de Picardie” Amiens 2017 413 Free Trade Awry? On the Export of ‘Double Genocide’ Revisionism DOVID KATZ (Vilnius Gediminas Technical University) PREAMBLE The fall of the Iron Curtain swiftly enabled free trade in goods and services between the nation states of Eastern Europe freed from Soviet domination with the West and much of the rest of the world. No less important was a new flow of ideas, generally on a west-to-east trajectory, including organizing principles for political processes and governments, education, media, the arts, and more, in short, models for societal structure and governance. Western mores and institutions readily took root in those nations with substantial anti-Soviet and often anti-Russian sentiments, both among the former Warsaw Pact nations, such as Poland and Hungary, and in some former Soviet republics, principally the three Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. One common denominator was a legacy, strong by virtue of personal memory and convincingly conveyed immediate family legacy, of the facts of generally successful independent statehood in the interwar period. By contrast, new states such as Belarus and Ukraine had eastern “halves” that had been part of the Soviet Union from around the time of the Russian Revolution.

However, the main question should not be WHY but rather HOW to recognize and prevent such future mistakes. My interest in conducting legal research on the of the prevention Holocaust and prosecution of Nazi war criminals is based on my personal experience. I feel obligated to be a part of the movement “NEVER AGAIN”.
