Only one-fifth of the property that was stolen from Europe's Jews by the
Nazis and their collaborators has ever been returned, leaving at least $115
billion in assets still missing, according to a new study obtained Friday by The
Associated Press.
Many Western European governments paid restitution for only a fraction of
the stolen real estate, investments, businesses and household items, while
Eastern European countries under Soviet control paid almost nothing at all,
according to the study.
Even the highly publicized campaigns over the past decade for more complete
compensation barely made a dent in the problem, said the study, compiled by
economist Sidney Zabludoff, a former CIA and U.S. Treasury official.
