Swiss banks' Holocaust fund 'paid out $1.24 bn'
Holocaust survivors and victims' heirs have received $1.24 billion from a Swiss fund set up after a scandal over dormant accounts of Jews killed in World War II, a magazine said Monday.
The Swiss-Jewish weekly Tachles said the figure was contained in a report by New York judge Edward Korman, who oversees the management of the fund.
Korman's report summed up operations since a landmark 1998 deal between the World Jewish Congress and Swiss banks.
