From the Associated Press:
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 announced Friday, 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.
