Excerpt:
Bad things that are tips of bad icebergs shouldn't happen to good people. But if they must, it's as well they happen to people with influence to command respectful attention.
Gordon Wasserman (since 2011 Baron Wasserman) grew up in Montreal, won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University, and joined the U.K. Home Office in 1967. He is presently a Conservative member of the House of Lords and Government Advisor on Policing and Criminal Justice. The "bad thing" happened to his grandson, "Oscar," not his real name.
Lord Wasserman's daughter Gemma and her family live in Berlin. Gemma's husband, Wenzel Michalski, head of the German division of Human Rights Watch, was recently interviewed on German TV regarding violence Oscar endured at his now-former secondary school.
