New French-US fund will compensate Holocaust victims


Novi francusko-američki fond za kompenzaciju žrtava Holokausta


Thousands of Holocaust survivors and family members in the United States and elsewhere will be entitled to compensation from a $60 million French-U.S. fund, as reparations to those deported by France’s state rail company SNCF during the Nazi occupation. As part of the deal, the U.S. government will work to end lawsuits and other compensation claims in U.S. courts against the SNCF, which is bidding for lucrative high-speed rail and other contracts in U.S. markets. State legislators in Maryland, New York, Florida and California have tried to punish SNCF for its Holocaust-era actions.



Tisuće osoba koje su preživjele Holokaust (i njihovi članovi obitelji)  koji žive u USA ili drugdje,  moći če tražiti kompenzaciju iz  Francusko američkog fonda  (od 60 milijuna dolara) kao reparaciju ako su bili  deportirani  pomoću francuskih željeznica ( SNCE kompanija) u toku nacističke okupacije Francuske. Američka vlada će radi na završetku  procesa na  američkom sudu gdje je  tužila SNCF. Pravnici u Americi traže kaznu za francuske željeznice zbog njihovog djelovanja u vrijeme Holokausta.


" To je još jedna mjera pravde  za one koji su stradali u najtamnijem  vremenu u povijesti"- rekao je Stuart Eizenstat- koji je godinama radio na tom sporazumu.

The French Foreign Ministry and U.S. State Department announced an accord Friday for the compensation fund, which will be financed by the French government and managed by the United States. The agreement will be signed on Monday in Washington, but for the money to be authorised it still must get approval from the French Parliament, which could take months.µ


The French government has already paid more than $6 billion in reparations — but only to French citizens and certain deportees. The new deal will allow compensation for Americans, Israelis and some others who were not eligible for other French reparations programmes.
