Lawyer’s strategy is ’shameful’

Last chance for Holocaust justice?

Dec. 6

The implication that the trial of John Demjanjuk represents a form of persecution rather than prosecution is an affront to both the victims of Nazism as well as its survivors. Demjanjuk’s lawyer, Ulrich Busch, may find it useful to cast aspersions upon the proceedings and thereby gain sympathy for his client, but it is a shameful strategy.

We commend the dedication of the German authorities on this matter as they pursue justice against the persecutors, on behalf of the persecuted.
