From 1940 to 1945 the Channel Islands were the only part of Britain
to fall under German Occupation. During that period, local courts
continued to function and to apply Island law. Lawyers, judges and
government officials in Jersey and Guernsey continued to swear
oaths of allegiance to the British Crown. But German anti-Semitic
laws and other measures were introduced and became part of the
legal system. This book examines the ways in which officials
co-operated in the implementation of legal measures against the
Islands' Jewish community and their property. Resident Jews were
registered by Island authorities and lists of Jewish property were
compiled and submitted to the Germans by local lawyers and
bureaucrats. Jews were banned from employment and from appearing in
public. Businesses were "Aryanised". Wireless sets were confiscated
because their owners were Jewish, and many residents were deported.
Based on a thorough review of Island archival material and
previously unknown evidence, this book offers the first
jurisprudential and legal analysis of the moral and legal failures
of law and lawyers to combat the Holocaust and Nazi legality on
British soil.
