Abstract
"The authors served as legal counsel for the League for Human Rights of B'nai B'rith to the Deschênes Commission of Inquiry on War Criminals. Describes the work of the commission and the process by which Nazi collaborators entered Canada as immigrant DPs. Presents evidence that the Canadian government knowingly participated in British-U.S. schemes to settle known war criminals in the West, sheltered high-level collaborators (such as Count Jacques de Bernonville, military commandant of Lyon under Klaus Barbie), and made no effort to trace war criminals up to 1980. Examines the legal possibilities for prosecuting or deporting suspected war criminals, attacking the legal arguments presented by the government for inaction. Ch. 10 (pp. 163-186), "Ukrainian-Jewish Relations" discusses the motives of the Ukrainian, Croatian, and Baltic emigre communities in opposing investigation of war criminals. also describes government reaction to the Deschenes report and the attempts to carry out its recommendations. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism)." - Voila
