Could this be why france is so cozy with dictators, thugs, and murderers?
The French government and banks owe at least $94.7 million (U.S.) in reparations to Jews whose assets were seized by France's pro-Nazi regime during World War II, a commission said today.However, the finding by the Commission for the Indemnity of Victims of Despoliation, or CIVS, is not binding. It will be submitted to the government — which created the commission in 1999 — for a final review.
I guess it just makes good business sense.
I'm betting france tries to to get the EU to pay this...
