FRANCE:
French railways win appeal in Holocaust case
A French court has overturned a ruling that ordered the state railway to
compensate a family whose relatives were taken by train to an internment
camp during the Nazi occupation. The Lipietz family produced bills as
evidence that the SNCF charged French authorities the price of a
third-class ticket for each person loaded into its cattle trucks.
But lawyers for the firm welcomed the court's view that the SNCF was
requisitioned and had not acted on its own authority. Today's decision
overturns a landmark verdict in favour of relatives of Georges Lipietz, a
Polish-born Jew who was arrested by French police and transported to
Drancy camp near Paris in 1944.
They launched the action six years ago. Since then, Georges, who was
spared Auschwitz by the allied victory, has died. But his son Alain, a
member of the European Parliament, is set to appeal today's ruling. The
court's conclusion that it was not competent to rule on the case deals a
blow to hundreds more claims. Some 76,000 Jews were arrested in France
during World War Two and transported to concentration camps such as
Auschwitz, where most died. Drancy was the main transit centre on French
soil for the death camp.

USA:
Panel Urges Speed in Opening Nazi Files
With the number of Holocaust survivors dwindling, a House committee voted
Tuesday to urge seven European nations to quickly approve the opening of
millions of Nazi files on concentration camps and their victims.
Earlier this month, an 11-nation body overseeing the long-secret archive
set procedures to open the war records stored in Bad Arolsen, Germany, by
the end of the year. Before the material can be accessed, all 11 must
ratify an agreement adopted last year to end the 60-year ban on using the
files for research.
The resolution approved by the House Foreign Affairs Committee calls on
member countries who have not yet ratified to do so quickly in the
interest of elderly Holocaust survivors.
Israel, the United States, Poland and the Netherlands have completed
ratification.
Germany, Britain and Luxembourg have said they would ratify before the
commission meets again in May. National elections in France and Belgium
could cause delays in those countries, officials said, and the status in
Italy and Greece was unclear.
The Associated Press, which was granted extensive access to the archive in
recent months on condition that victims not be fully identified, has drawn
attention to the documents.
AP researchers have seen letters by Nazi commanders, Gestapo orders and
vivid testimony from victims and observers of the brutality of camp life
and the "death marches" when camps were ordered cleared of prisoners at
the end of the war.
Scholars say the Bad Arolsen files will fill gaps in history and provide a
unique perspective gained from seeing original Nazi letters, the minutiae
of the concentration camps' structures, slave labor records and the
testimony of victims and ordinary Germans who witnessed the brutality of
the Gestapo.
In the last 60 years, the International Committee of the Red Cross'
Tracing Service has responded to 11 million requests from survivors and
their families. Most inquiries have resulted in delays lasting years and
produced sketchy replies.
The files have been used since the 1950s to help determine the fate of
people who disappeared during the Third Reich. Later, the files were also
used to validate claims for compensation.

Film Recognizing Man's Work Finding Nazi War Criminals
The Simon Wiesenthal Center hosted a Philadelphia premiere of "I Have
Never Forgotten You: The Life and Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal"
last night at the Prince Music Theatre. Directed by Richard Trank and
narrated by actress Nicole Kidman, "I Have Never Forgotten You" was a
stirring tribute to the life of Simon Wiesenthal, a Holocaust survivor and
a self-trained investigator who brought thousands of Nazi war criminals to
justice. A Moriah Films Production, "I Have Never Forgotten You" is the
most recent production from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and features
previously unseen footage and interviews with friends, family, associates
and government leaders. Rabbi Marvin Hier, a personal friend of
Wiesenthal's and the founder and dean of SWC, attended the premiere.
"I Have Never Forgotten You" chronicles the life of a man who relentlessly
pursued his Nazi torturers with a passionate fervor and obsession. Unable
to return to a "normal" life after his liberation from Mauthausen
concentration camp in upper Austria, Wiesenthal was driven to follow a
lifelong obsession in his quest for justice. A relentless researcher with
a talent for ferreting out war criminals, Wiesenthal's lifelong passion
would suggest a man ravaged by hate and driven by revenge to seek his
torturers, yet "I Have Never Forgotten You" reveals a man who pursues
former Nazis in the name of justice, but more importantly, for the
friends, 89 family members and fellow sufferers and casualties of the
Holocaust. The title of the film exposes the true nature of the
documentary as a tribute, not as a documented record of revenge, even
though "I Have Never Forgotten You" reveals thousands of detailed
atrocities committed by the men and women Wiesenthal brings to justice
through his research.
"I Have Never Forgotten You" is not an easy documentary to watch, nor does
it soften the brutality of the Holocaust, but although the images on the
screen depict horrible criminals, murderers and torturers, the purpose of
the film is to memorialize the commendable work achieved by Wiesenthal
throughout his lifetime to honor the lives lost at the hands of the
criminals he unearths. Labeled "the man who could not stop thinking about
the guilt of other people" by a contributor in the documentary,
Wiesenthal's obsession was apparent in the documentary, but so were his
reasons.
"Survival is a privilege which entails obligations. I am forever asking
myself what I can do for those who have not survived. The answer I have
found for myself (and which need not necessarily be the answer for every
survivor) is: I want to be their mouthpiece. I want to keep their memory
alive, to make sure the dead live on in that memory," said Wiesenthal, in
his book, Justice, Not Vengeance.
The documentary opens with footage from Mauthausen, one of the several
concentration camps Wiesenthal endured during his capture, and the
location from which he was liberated on May 5, 1945. Found lying
helplessly in a barracks surrounded by the dead, and weighing less than
100 lbs., Wiesenthal barely survived to be liberated by an American
armored unit. Wiesenthal's first documentation of the atrocities committed
by the Nazi guards survives in volumes of sketches he drew while
imprisoned.
"I drew what I was seeing every day," said Wiesenthal. "I wanted to leave
something behind to document the horrors I saw every day."
Wiesenthal's first small efforts to expose the crimes of Nazi guards
through his sketches were magnified greatly following his release. One day
during the struggle to regain his health, Wiesenthal walked into a meeting
between the War Crimes Section of the U.S. Army and former Nazi prison
guards. Amazed to see the German guards shackled and answering questions
regarding their activities in the concentration camps, Wiesenthal
immediately offered his services. Underweight, weak and completely
untrained, U.S. officials placated the excited Wiesenthal and unofficially
"commissioned" him to submit information. Wiesenthal's first list of 99
Nazi offenders, explicitly detailed and painstakingly categorized, incited
a passion and obsession that ended only with his death in 2005.
Credited with providing information to bring nearly 1,100 Nazi war
criminals to court, Wiesenthal's most high-profile cases include Franz
Murer, "The Butcher of Wilno;" Gustav Wagner, the commandant of Sobibor;
Erich Rajakowitsch, in charge of the "death transports" in Holland; Karl
Silberbauer, the Gestapo officer who arrested Anne Frank; Hermine
Braunsteiner, a housewife living in Queens, N.Y., who had supervised the
killing of hundreds of children at Majdanek; and Franz Stangl, the
commandant of the Treblinka and Sobibor concentration camps in Poland.
Stangl, who Wiesenthal patiently researched for three years, was finally
located in Brazil in 1967. Remanded in West Germany for trial, when asked
whether he plead guilty or not guilty, Stangl replied "not guilty."
Wiesenthal remarks grimly in his documentary, "The judge should have asked
him that question 6,000,000 times." Stangl was sentenced to life
imprisonment and died in prison.
Stangl, about whom Wiesenthal says, "Had I done nothing in my life except
catch this man, I would not have lived in vain," was one of two on
Wiesenthal's most-wanted list. Adolf Eichmann, chief of the Gestapo's
Jewish Department, and implementer of "The Final Solution" was the other.
After over a decade of relentless research, Wiesenthal aided Eichmann's
capture in Buenos Aires in 1959. He was brought to Israel for trial, and
executed on May 31, 1961 for mass murder.
Wiesenthal's work continued through the various obstacles time and the
Cold War presented to a researcher of a war that was slowly becoming
outdated. When Wiesenthal's association with the U.S. War Crimes
Association ended in 1947, he opened the Jewish Historical Documentation
Center in Linz, Austria until 1954. Later, he reopened the Jewish
Documentation Center, this time in Vienna. Although Wiesenthal's passion
brought thousands of felons to justice, he suffered for his work at the
hands of the public. Neo-Nazis and Nazi sympathizers criticized his work
and made personal threats against Wiesenthal, his wife Cyla, and daughter
Pauline. A police guard was mounted around Wiesenthal's house, and friends
and family encouraged the researcher to leave Vienna.
"A soldier must stay on the battlefield," said Wiesenthal. "It is my duty
to continue."
Cyla, who suffered from nervous breakdowns, also pleaded with her husband
to move to Israel, or to any other country.
"I know you are right, I said to Cyla," said Wiesenthal in the
documentary. "But all the people we lost - your mother, my mother, our
family, friends and all I saw dying in the death camps - if I gave up, I
would be betraying them. So I asked her - 'Could you live with a
traitor?'"
Though Wiesenthal faced much persecution in the course of his life, he was
also rewarded for his commendable efforts later in life. Decorated by the
Austrian and French resistance movements and recipient of the Dutch
Freedom Metal, the Luxembourg Freedom Medal, the U.N. League for the Help
of Refugees Award, the U.S. Congressional Gold Medal, given by President
Jimmy Carter in 1980, leaders have attempted to pay tribute to Wiesenthal
for the years he suffered in return for his work. Several films have been
produced, based on Wiesenthal's life, including Paramount Pictures' 1974
film, "The Odessa File," and Twentieth Century Fox's 1978 film, "The Boys
from Brazil," in addition to a 1981 documentary produced by the Wiesenthal
Center, titled "Genocide." Wiesenthal has written several books, most
notably, The Murderers Among Us, a book of his memoirs, published in 1967.
Despite his various awards, Wiesenthal maintained a humble position in
life, taking payment only from the films and books he published. He lived
his final days in a modest apartment in Vienna with his wife, until her
death in 2003.
"I am not a Jewish James Bond or Don Quixote," said Wiesenthal. "I am only
a survivor who pays with his work for the privilege to remain alive."
In August 2000, Rabbi Marvin Hier accepted the Medal of Freedom on
Wiesenthal's behalf, the U.S.'s highest civilian honor, presented by
President Clinton. Wiesenthal was only the sixth foreign citizen in the
history of the U.S. to receive this honor. At the presentation, Hier gave
President Clinton a letter on Wiesenthal's behalf. In the letter,
Wiesenthal wrote, "My cause is justice, not vengeance. My work is for a
better tomorrow and a more secure future for our children and
grandchildren who will follow us. As a firm believer that each of us are
accountable before our creator, I believe that when my life has ended, I
shall one day be called to meet up with those who perished and they will
undoubtedly ask me, 'What have you done?' At that moment, I will have the
honor of stepping forward and saying to them, I have never forgotten you."

TAIWAN:
Taiwan students form Nazi party
A group of students from Taiwan has caused uproar by founding an avowedly
Nazi organisation and boasting that it is inspired by Adolf Hitler.
The National Socialism Association was set up by Lahn Chao, a master's
student from the National Chengchi University in the capital, Taipei, and
19 others.
Its website is a call to arms to rejuvenate the island's politics, end
democracy and retake mainland China for the nationalist cause, and bears a
symbol in black, red and white loosely based on the swastika flag.
It makes few concrete political promises, though website forums contain a
large number of links to apparently pornographic websites and online
games.
The admiration for Nazism and Hitler the group professes is unlikely to be
based on antisemitism, as there has been historically very little Jewish
presence in Taiwan.
Mr Chao, who is studying political science, said he was not hostile to Jews
but was interested in fostering nationalism and was in favour of limits on
the numbers of foreign workers coming to Taiwan.
"I think we have to work hard to restore traditional Chinese values like
Confucianism," he said.
"We want to study Hitler's good points, not study his massacres," said
another founder member, Yue Shu-ya.
Chiang Kai-shek, who established a 40-year dictatorship on Taiwan after
being ousted from the mainland by Mao's Communists, had flirted with
fascist symbolism.
Rafi Gamzou, the director of the Israeli representative office in Taipei,
said: "This is an upsetting and worrisome phenomenon."

NORWAY:
Norway sued by children of Nazis
Norwegian offspring of German fathers were part of a "master race" plan
A group of Norwegians who were fathered by German soldiers in World War II
are suing the Norwegian authorities at the European Court of Human Rights.
The former war children claim they suffered widespread abuse and
discrimination after the war.
During the war the Nazis encouraged liaisons between German troops and
Norwegian women.
It was part of a plan to breed an Aryan master race of blonde-haired,
blue-eyed babies for the Thousand-Year Reich.
As for the infants produced by these affairs, most became known as
Lebensborn Children. In post-war Norway they became targets of abuse,
often bullied, beaten, even locked away in mental institutions just
because their fathers had been German soldiers.
Now, 150 war children are seeking justice at the European Court of Human
Rights.
They are suing the Norwegian state for having failed to protect them after
the war and for discriminating against them.
Norway has, in the past, offered limited compensation to former Lebensborn
Children but the authorities have never accepted responsibility for
alleged cases of harassment dating back up to 60 years.
The Court will hear the case on Thursday and decide about its
admissibility. Later, if it is found admissible, the European Court will
then judge the actual complaint on its merits.

USA//MINNESOTA:
U. Minnesota library to offer world's largest archive of Holocaust images
The digital world of today will meet the genocides of the past at the
University of Minnesota this semester when the voices of 52,000 Holocaust
survivors and witnesses from 56 different countries become accessible on
campus.
The University Libraries will offer the world's largest archive of visual
histories of the Holocaust in a digital media database. The University is
one of only six to hold the archives.
The archives date back to the early 1990s when director Steven Spielberg
was filming "Schindler's List" and he came up with the idea to seek out
Holocaust survivors' testimonies.
In 1994, Spielberg created what is now known as the Shoah Foundation
Institute's Visual History Collection, which is housed at the University
of Southern California and contains video testimonies in 32 languages.
Stephen Feinstein, director of the Center for Holocaust and Genocide
Studies, said access to the archives is a wonderful privilege for the
University.
"This puts the U of M in an elite group of universities," he said. "If we
use it correctly, we can do some amazing things."
University Librarian Wendy Lougee said the University was a logical
destination for the archives for a number of reasons. She said having a
Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and having high technological
capabilities helped with the pursuit of the archives.
"The Shoah Foundation was looking to expand," she said.
"Not every institution would be able to take advantage of an opportunity
like this; you have to have a certain level of infrastructure."
Lougee, who, along with Feinstein, was instrumental in bringing the
archives to the University, said many people will find these testimonies
useful and interesting.
"There will be a very diverse group," she said. "There will be historians
of that period, scholars who deal with political and religious groups.
There will be people who have family members represented in the archive.
There will be a broad interest in the community."
Lougee said those who want to view the archives must be on campus in order
to gain access.
Jewish studies senior Brett Willner said he saw some of the videos in
Holocaust museums around the country. While they're sometimes tough to
watch, he said he admires Spielberg for putting up the money to share
these stories.
"It's a very bold thing for Spielberg to do," he said. "He realized that
this is an important thing that needs to be done."
Charles Spetland, Collection Development Officer of the University
Libraries, said the big movement represented by the archives is the
advancement of technology at the University.
"We're moving into a digital media world," he said. "The technology is
finally here."
Feinstein also said the technology is fantastic.
"The indexing is unbelievable," he said. "Just type in the name of the
city, the issue and a year and it will give you every tape that has that
in it. It will bring you to the right spot."
Feinstein said it's important to teach future generations about the
horrible events that took place during the Holocaust.
"The Holocaust is a big deal," he said. "It is the biggest negative event
in history. It has cast a shadow over the 20th century and now the 21st
century."
Willner said the archives are a way of teaching that will assure that
people never forget the horrors of genocide.
The Holocaust Jews are "a dying generation," he said. "With the technology
that we have, there is no reason not to document their stories."
Feinstein said there is a large group of people who are fascinated by the
Holocaust.
"There is a lot of student interest," he said. "You see it in popular
culture, too. You see it on TV and in the movie theaters, as well as
books. And, of course, there's this Hitler fetish these days."
According to Feinstein, the archives should interest more than just Jewish
people because the Holocaust affected so many people.
"It shouldn't be viewed as Jewish. It was a world event," he said. "How
those people rebuilt their lives is very interesting."
Willner said these archives are something that will help us never forget.
"It's a valuable resource," he said. "For today and many, many years to
come."

ITALY:
Italian minister promises law change to help Holocaust survivors
Italian Labour Minister Cesare Damiano has supported a campaign by the
countrys Jewish community to grant reward allowances to Holocaust
survivors.
Damiano met last week with the President of Romes Jewish community Leone
Paserman in Romes main synagogue.
Representatives from the Union of Italian Jewish Communities and several
Jewish survivors from World War II were also present at the meeting where
Damiano called on the countrys Jewish community to formally present a
ministerial bill on reward allowances to be approved by the Italian
parliament in the coming months.
The minister announced that reward allowances granted to some Jews who
survived the persecutions under the Fascist regime and the Nazi occupation
will no longer be considered an income source.
Current concerns
Under the current law, a needy person living on a welfare allowance may
not receive other income.
Several elderly Jews from disadvantaged walks of life, who already enjoyed
a social allowance, have this encountered major financial problems when
also granted a reward allowance because of the persecutions they suffered.
Obtaining a State compensation for the persecutions has often required an
extremely time consuming and expensive legal battle with the institutions.
And once the reward allowance was granted, the Italian National Social
Security Institute (Inps) has had the right to demand the beneficiary to
return the welfare money received in the past, along with the interest
accrued.
After a number of poor, elderly Jewish couples were struck by the Inps
fiscal hatchet, Italian Jewish institutions addressed the government and
asked for a law adjustment.
The bill had already been announced on the last Holocaust Memorial Day (26
January, 2007), but the February 2007 cabinet crisis forced the
legislative process start from scratch.
Rectification needed
Damiano told EJP that in his capacity of Labour minister he cannot make
any further changes that could, for instance, also turn the process of
granting reward allowances an easier task.
Such decisions, he explained, are the responsibility of the Finance
minister.
Yet the Italian cabinet acknowledges that more can be done in order to
reward those who suffered unjustly. And I am here to prove it.
The new law also responds to a parliamentary question by centrist MP
Pierluigi Castagnetti, who last December urged the government to rectify
deeds that insult those who suffered because of Nazi-Fascist persecutions
in the first place, and also insult the Republican institutions themselves
that... by means of this reward, intended to indemnify, as far as
possible, the damage suffered by the victims of racial persecutions and by
those deported to concentration camps.

GERMANY:
Nazi Foundation Stone Restored To Demonstrate Hitler's Mad Dream
A crane lifted the foundation stone of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler's
planned stadium back into its original position Tuesday at a Nuremberg
park which aims to expose the Nazis' megalomaniac dreams.
Torchlit Nazi Party mass rallies held in the 1930s in the park were
supposed to be only the beginning, with the stone laid in 1937 for a
stadium that was intended to seat 400,000 fanatical Nazis. A pit was dug
for the foundations, but the stadium was never built.
After the war, the park was a source of shame to the city. Most of the pit
was filled with the rubble of the central business district, which had
been flattened by Allied bombing. Part of the pit remained as a polluted
pond.
In the past decade, the city has created a museum to explain the Nazis'
evil philosophy and signposted an educational walk into history through
the park. The granite stone, weighing several tons, is topped with a
glazed sign explaining its significance.
Matthias Strobel, a city museums official, said the stone had been dumped
in scrub till 2001, then stored in a municipal building yard.
"This is not a monument," he said. "It's just an exhibit among the 23
stops on our educational walkway."
It was all that remained of the planned stadium, which the Nazis intended
to seat 10 times as many people as big football stadiums. Next to it is a
1,500-metre long concrete apron used by the Nazis for military parades and
now used as a car park.

Nazi War Criminals as Role Models?
A new book co-written by two former German commando leaders hails a
Nazi-era elite unit as a role model for the modern German special forces.
DPA
General Reinhard Gnzel, former commander of Germany's KSK special forces,
has praised an elite Nazi unit in his new book.
Two former commanders of German special forces have been criticized for
praising a World War II commando unit as an inspiration for Germany's
modern-day elite soldiers.
Former general Reinhard Gnzel, head of Germany's KSK elite forces until
2003, wrote in a recently published book "Secret Warriors": "The commando
soldiers know exactly where their roots lie." The missions of the
Wehrmacht's Brandenburg division had been "legendary" among his troops,
writes Gnzel, who was fired in 2003 for praising a speech by a
conservative member of parliament who had referred to Jews as a "race of
perpetrators."
The book's co-author Ulrich Wegener, who founded Germany's GSG9
anti-terrorism unit in the 1970s, writes that comradeship and esprit de
corps "could be learned especially from the Brandenburgers."
The comments were criticised by Hans-Peter Bartels, a member of the German
parliament's defence committee. "If the picture of the KSK being painted
in the book is true, then some changes need to be made in the army's
special forces," he told DER SPIEGEL.

Spiegel's and Spiegel Online's international coverage in your In- Box

The KSK forces, comparable to the US Delta Force or Britain's SAS, appear
to be "full of contempt for the effeminate world of civilians and for the
rest of the army," said Bartels.
The Brandenburg commando unit was formed in 1939 as an arm of the
intelligence service within the regular Wehrmacht army. It was tasked with
covert operations behind enemy lines, such as seizing strategic bridges
and tunnels.
Its units operated in almost all fronts and took part in the invasions of
Poland, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Russia and Greece. The
Brandenburg division operated outside the Hague Convention on land war --
as did special forces from other countries -- because its soldiers were
often disguised as civilians or enemy troops.

AUSTRIA:
Report: Austrian bank collaborated with Nazis
An Austrian historians commission has found that the three predecessor
banks of the current Bank of Austria (BACA) benefited from the
expansionist policies of the Nazis during WWII.
The two volume report focuses on the plans of BACA predecessors,
Creditanstalt Bankverein, the Creditanstalt Regional banks, Lnderbank and
Zentralsparkasse which were independent of National Socialist policy,
according to the commission.
The research proves that although the Austrian banks were de facto
controlled by Germanys main banks mainly Deutsche Bank and the formerly
Jewish managed Dresdner Bank - they had been able to keep their autonomy
and were thus in the position to manoeuvre themselves within their markets
any way they saw fit.
The banks dismissals of their Jewish employees, for example, extended far
beyond the reaches of their financial service institution - the layoffs
were also felt in the smallest enterprises that had been owned by the
banks as well.
Corporate takeovers
Because of Austrias historical legacy with Eastern Europe, the Austrian
banks were instrumental in managing corporate takeovers in countries that
were being overrun by Nazi forces many of these companies having
previously been Jewish owned.
According to the report, wherever the army was, the banks were too. The
BACA predecessors had gone as far as working together with the SS in
establishing a service desk for its customers that were interred in
concentration camps, the report said.
The report says that by 1942, the BACA predecessor banks had not only
institutionalised and worked according to National Socialist dogma, they
also cooperated closely with Nazi authorities in obtaining details of
private and municipal account holders which also helped to pave the way
for a more efficient nationalisation of Jewish enterprises as well as the
deportation of Jews and other groups to ghettos and extermination camps
considered undesirable by the Nazis.
The report is the culmination of BACAs process of reconciliation and
compensation with holocaust victims, many who had either worked for one of
the banks enterprises as well as those whose assets were managed by the
banks.
Helping survivors
The Austrian Bank Fund, which called the commission into life, was created
by BACA to benefit Holocaust survivors or their heirs who were persecuted
by the Nazi regime between 1933 and 1946 because of their race, religion,
ethnic origin, nationality, political belief, sexual orientation, or
disabilityand who were damaged directly or indirectly by Bank Austria or
Creditanstalt, such as through lost, stolen, or confiscated assets.
Although approved in January 2000, the US $ 40 million fund became fully
effective only as of August 2001.
The creation of the BACA commission came three years after the Austrian
government established a six-member commission of historians to study all
aspects of the countrys restitution efforts to victims of the Nazi era.
The commissions mandate was to investigate "dispossession of property on
the territory of the Republic" and issues of restoration and compensation,
including economic and social efforts by Austria after 1945. Before
October 1998, Austria had continually played the role of victim of Nazi
Germany, although it was de facto an integral part of the National
Socialist movement.
