On 12 May the International Committee co-organised the launch of an important exhibition, documenting the fate of Jewish lawyers under the Nazi regime. The launch event was attended by leading representatives of the German and British legal professions, and featured a powerful speech by Sir Jack Beatson on the fate of German Jewish lawyers as well as the important contributions of those, like Michael Kerr, who escaped to the UK, to our legal system. The exhibition, now on display in the Temple Church, has been devised by the German Federal Bar (Bundesrechtsanwaltskammer), has travelled through Germany and is now touring around the globe. It is a powerful reminder how the rule of law can be undermined and abused by autocratic regimes.
