Amsterdam to repay Jews fined for late rents in WWII

Move comes after it was revealed Jews who escaped concentration camps were billed for arrears on properties

Amsterdam will refund relatives of hundreds of Jews who were fined for being late with their rent during their incarceration in World War II concentration camps, city officials said Friday.

"From today, the descendants of the families can ask to be reimbursed for the fines imposed for late rental payments during World War II, which were unfairly collected," the Dutch city said in a statement.
