Firms Put Their Half in Slave-Labor Fund
From Times Wire Reports
The German industry foundation set up to compensate Nazi-era slave laborers said it has gathered its half of a $4.8-billion national fund, ending months of pleading to companies to fulfill their moral responsibility for Germany’s past.
However, it wasn’t clear when the estimated 1 million elderly survivors will be paid from the government-industry fund. The companies insist on the dismissal of class-action lawsuits in the United States before they transfer the money.
