Jerusalem, May 29, 2000 Britain's role in the Holocaust By Bernard Wasserstein Later this week Queen Elizabeth II will visit the Imperial War Museum in London to open the new exhibition devoted to the history of the Holocaust. This is the first effort of its kind by any national
institution in Britain. It comes against the background of
heightened public discussion in Britain about many issues
arising from the destruction of European Jewry. Debate has
sometimes been acrimonious especially in relation to
confiscated wartime bank accounts of Jewish refugees, delay
in (and paucity of) prosecutions under the War Crimes Act,
the David Irving libel
case and the decision to institute a national day
commemorating the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. |
We reproduce elsewhere on this website copies of e-mails received from Messrs Clifford Chance, London solicitors, in chronological order. They were first received on May 18, 2000; a fax message has also been received from them on May 18 in London (at which time Mr Irving is on the Pacific West Coast of the USA). |
