Intersection Segment | Professors Remembers Nazi Visa Hearings May 7, 2014 | WMFE, Orlando - This week marks 69 years since Germany's surrender at the end of World War II. After the war, the world had to figure out what to do with millions of former Nazi Party members.
Some wanted to visit the United States- and some wanted to visit the US. In the 1980s, Barry University Law Professor Leonard Birdsong was chief of the nonimmigrant visa section of the U.S. Consulate in Hamburg, Germany. There he served as a hearing officer for former Nazi Party members and Waffen SS soldiers who wanted to travel to the US. Birdsong explains about a 1978 amendment to the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act designed to keep former Nazi war criminals out of the US. |
