was to urge Ukranian leaders
to exhibit greater "discre-

Among the best-known
cases of war criminals who
lived untroubled lives in Bri-
tain after the war is that of
Dr. Vladislaw Dering.
A doctor at Auschwitz who
performed thousands of ex-
perimental operations on
camp inmates, Dering sued
for libel after his identity was
revealed by American writer
Leon Uris in his famous book
Exodus. (Uris subsequently
documented the libel case in
his best-selling QB7.)
Following an exhaustive
legal hearing, the judge found
that Uris had, technically,
libelled Dering under British
law. He awarded the doctor a
halfpenny in damages, then
the smallest denomination of
British currency, as a meas-
ure of his contempt. Dering
died shortly afterward.
The story of Dering's inte-
gration into British society is
instructive in understanding
official British attitudes to
war criminals in the imme-
diate aftermath of World War

In 1947, after Dering had
arrived in Britain, the Polish
government sought his extra-
dition. A principal witness to
Dering's wartime crimes was
none other than Polish Prime
Minister Cyrankiewicz.
Soon after the extradition
request was sent, a British
Foreign Office official wrote
to the Home Office — Bri-
tain's Interior Department —
noting that "we are being
pressed very hard by the Pol-
ish Embassy and it is not
easy for us to hold them off
much longer."
The Home Office reply, con-
tained in a recently declassi-
fied document, suggested that
"to arrange his emigration to
some South American coun-
try may well prove to be the
best solution?'
In the event, Dering was
allowed to remain in Britain,

Former Home Secretary
Merlyn Rees, who headed the
non-partisan group, said that
Britain should now follow the
examples set by Australia and
Canada, both of which have
enacted legislation that per-
mits war criminals to be tried
in their courts.
"We must take steps," he
said, to see that they pay for
their crimes. And that means
putting them on trial?'
As a result of pressure from
the group, the government
established a war crimes in-
quiry earlier this year to ad-
vise .on whether there was
enough evidence to justify
changing the law to allow war
crimes suspects to be tried in
Britain.
The inquiry, headed by two
former senior public prosecu-
tors, is scheduled to present
its report next spring.

where he joined the Colonial
Service and was posted to
Somalia. He was subsequent-
ly awarded the Order of the
British Empire by Queen
Elizabeth.
As recently as 1960, the
British government rejected a
Soviet request for the extradi-
tion of former Estonian Er-
win Mere, who was im-
plicated in the murder of
10,000 Soviet prisoners of war
at Jagala and the murder of
Jews at Kalevi-Liva.
The British government
refused even to investigate
the case on the grounds that
it did not recognize Soviet
authority in Estonia. Mere
died peacefully at his home in
Leicester nine years later.
The report cites two cases in
particular of known Nazi war
criminals who were actively
encouraged to immigrate to
Britain: One, Dr. Walter
Reppe, was recruited while ac-
tually awaiting trial for war
Irimes in Nuremberg;
another, Dr. Leo Casagrande,
was known to be a high-rank-
ing SS officer who employed
slave labor.
