AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME
.
•
...
March 19 by an overwhelm-
ing 273-60 majority, was re-
jected 207-74 by the Lords,
some of whom cited reasons
varying from old age and the
passage of time to the
judicial question of the va-
lidity of retribution.
The legislation would have
permitted British courts to
prosecute alleged Nazi war
criminals living in Britain.
It is now dead, at least for
this session of Parliament.
Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean
of the Simon Wiesenthal
Center, whose lists of alleg-
ed Nazi war criminals living
in Britain initiated the in-
quiry, criticized the House of
Lords for their defeat of the
bill.
"It is kind of ironic that
such an august body should
decide that suspected Nazi
war criminals are old and
feeble- minded and cannot
withstand the test of coming
before the bar of justice be-
cause of their age," Hier said
in New York, "and yet the
House of Lords are of a simi-
lar age themselves but feel
themselves competent to
pass such legislation."
He said a judge is perfectly
competent to judge whether
the defendants could stand
trial and that the Lords were
usurping the judge's role.
One of the bill's most
impassioned supporters was
Lord Immanuel Jakobovits,
chief rabbi of Britain and the
Commonwealth, who stress-
ed that the proposed legisla-
tion had nothing to do with
anti-Semitism. He said that
many who spoke against it
"are among the staunchest
friends of the Jewish peo-
ple."
But, he continued, "I am
bound to add that so were
some of those who were ap-
peasers of the Nazis in the
1930s."
In London, Ephraim
Zuroff, director of the
Wiesenthal Center in Israel,
said "The feeling is that the
bill still has strong support
in the Cabinet. And there is
a strong likelihood that it
will be resubmitted in the
House of Commons, based on
the large majority in Com-
mons .
"We're hopeful that it will
be resubmitted and we are
calling the government to
take whatever steps are
necessary so that it will be
resubmitted. Because every
day that goes by until that
bill is passed is only in favor
of the perpetrators."
Zuroff, who made up the
first list of Nazis in Britain
sent to Parliament, said he
is meeting with Home Office
officials Thursday to discuss
the various options.
