This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmjowl A NAZI WAR CRIMINAL AS A STANDARD BEARER FOR GENDER EQUALITY? - THE STRANGE SAGA OF JOHANN BREYER The modern judicial system's willingness to shield American women from any form of invidious gender-based discrimination and to demand the equal protection of the laws for all, is perhaps best evidenced by a recent courageous decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, Breyer v. Meissner.' In this decision, the court upheld the claim of Johann Breyer, an admitted Nazi war criminal who had persecuted thousands in the hellish concentration camps of the Second World War, to American citizenship through his American-born mother. The Third Circuit ruled that two Acts of Congress unconstitutionally discriminated against an American-born woman on the basis of her gender, with the effect of depriving her son of American citizenship at birth.2 The first act, Section 1993 of the Revised Statutes of 1874,' allowed only American citizen fathers to pass their citizenship to their offspring born abroad, while preventing American citizen mothers from doing the same.

The mere mention of these places and others like them is a devastating reminder of the ultimate experience in human suffering. These were a few of the many concentration camps -- death camps -- designed to carry out Hitler's Final Solution: to exterminate as many Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, and Homosexuals as possible and create a supreme Aryan' society. Millions upon millions of innocent civilians would suffer miserable deaths before the liberation would come.2 Who were these per- secutors? While the Nazis3 devised "the plan," supplied the materials and man-power to build the camps, and supervised these atrocities, only a few of the death camps were actually located in Germany. The camps were situated in various Slavic countries which had capitulated under Nazi onslaught.' To assist them in their crimes, the Nazis obtained the cooperation of some of the local people and prisoners of war.' Whether their participation was voluntary or not, 1.

  • Central Europe
    <>&<>0<Z><Z><Z><Z><><Z>0<Z><Z><Z><S><^^ Central Europe DISPLACED PERSONS rr-iHE PERIOD from June 30, 1948, to June 30, 1949, saw the greatest activity in J. the resettlement of the Jewish displaced persons (DP's) since the end of the war. However, the flow was not entirely in one direction. There con- tinued to be some infiltration from the countries within the Russian orbit. During this period approximately 9,000 Jews, most of whom came from Hungary and some from Rumania, made their way to the United States sector of Vienna. A combination of factors induced this clandestine migration. Most of the people left these countries because they could not adjust to Com- munism; many, to elude the ban on migration to Israel; and all, in a large measure, because of the feeling that in these "satellite" countries they were permanently cut off from the rest of Jewry. The Austrian government supplied the basic ration, and the American Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), sup- plementary relief, for the needy element of this group. Most of the newcomers appeared to have some resources and those who did not leave promptly for Israel were able to maintain themselves in Vienna while waiting to resettle in other countries.

ROTHFELD Supreme Court Clinic Mayer Brown LLP 127 Wall Street 1909 K Street, NW New Haven, CT 06511 Washington, DC 20006 (203) 432-4800 (202) 263-3000 Counsel for Petitioner i QUESTION PRESENTED The Immigration and Naturalization Act confers upon the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security broad discretion to grant asylum to a “refugee” as defined in the Act, but prohibits the exercise of that discretion in favor of any person who has “ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise partici- pated in the persecution of any person on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particu- lar social group, or political opinion.” 8 U.S.C. §§ 1158(b)(1)(A) & (2)(A), 1101(a)(42)(A). The Act also provides that when “the Attorney General decides that [an] alien’s life or freedom would be threatened in [a particular] country be- cause of the alien’s race, religion, nationality, mem- bership in a particular social group, or political opin- ion,” the Attorney General may deport the alien to that country only in specified circumstances; this benefit also does not extend to aliens who participate in persecution. 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3)(A) & (B). The question presented is: Whether these “persecutor bars” apply to an alien whose involvement in persecutory acts is involuntary because he engaged in the conduct due to credible threats of death or serious bodily harm.

  • At the Nexus of Refugee and Labour Migration: US Refugee Policy Formulation After the Second World War
    journal of migration history 6 (2020) 326-351 brill.com/jmh At the Nexus of Refugee and Labour Migration: US Refugee Policy Formulation after the Second World War Ruth Ellen Wasem Professor of Policy Practice, Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, University of Texas at Austin, United States [email protected] Abstract After the Second World War, liberal reformers in the US Congress pushed refugee legislation and included refugee provisions in their immigration reform bills. Presi- dents Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower were among those who urged Congress to enact refugee legislation. Without a statutory pathway for persons entering as refu- gees or asylees to become lawful permanent residents (lprs), refugee admissions were reactive. Some presidents would draw on other executive authorities to bring refugees into the United States, relying on Congress to subsequently enact laws providing lpr status. In other instances, Congress would enact refugee legislation aimed at specific populations and limited numbers. As a result, refugee policy was handled in a piece- meal and incremental fashion during this period. It is within this context that this article explores the nexus of refugee and labour migration policies and the role the nativist right-wing political leaders played in shaping US policy in this period.
