"Our judges none of whom experienced first hand the heaped, emaciated bodies of concentration camp victims seem unaware of the utter brutality of the Nazis' crimes. [...] Perhaps they could participate in seminars arranged by our leading law schools that would deal with the history of the Holocaust and the important precedents set in key war crimes trials since the end of the war. In this way, Canadian judges may be convinced of the seriousness of war crimes cases and avoid the unpredictable, offbeat decision-making we have so far experienced." � Sol Littman (Toronto Star, 20-Oct-1998, p.
