Notes and topics
BR, writing to the editor of the Observer, comments on the case of Richard Weyl.
Weyl is an Israeli advocate who returned to Germany to practise law, only to find that former members of the SA and SS were in high judicial positions in West Germany. BR comments that Weyl made the knowledge of former Nazis in the legal profession public and has since been recommended to be disbarred. BR writes that "the German complacence which enabled the era of the gas chamber to take place is with us again."
