U.S. Victims of Nazis to Receive Settlement
From Times Wire Reports
More than 200 Americans who survived World War II concentration camps will be paid by Germany under a settlement that the U.S. government has won for the long-forgotten Nazi victims. The cost could reach $25 million, depending on how much the German Parliament provides, according to lawyers. The reparations grew out of a 1995 settlement of a 40-year-old court fight by concentration camp survivor Hugo Princz. The New Jersey man and 10 other Americans split $2.1 million from the German government in that case.
