U.S. State Dept. seeking $60m from France to compensate Jews for "Deportation During the Holocaust"
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals: Statement of Claim Related to Deportation During the Holocaust
Quote:
Abstract of proposed collection: This collection will implement the Agreement Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of France to Address Claims Related to Deportation During the Holocaust, signed on December 8, 2014. Upon final approval by the French government, the agreement will provide for the transfer of $60 million from France to the United States, to compensate eligible claimants for harms suffered as the result of deportation from France during the Holocaust by SNCF, the French national rail carrier. In exchange for a lump sum, which the United States would use to compensate eligible claimants, the United States would undertake a commitment to prevent the prosecution of deportation-related claims in U.S. courts by recognizing and protecting France's and SNCF's sovereign immunity for such claims.
