Jews should get WWII property taxes back, says Amsterdam mayor
Jewish Amsterdammers who were charged ground rent for their properties over the years they spent in concentration camps or in hiding during World War II should get that money back, according to the city’s mayor.
In April, students discovered that hundreds of Jews were sent the bills when they returned to their homes after the war.
They should now get that money back plus interest, Eberhard van der Laan told KRO television programme Oog in Oog.
Every cent the council earned by being heartless or bureaucratic should be returned ‘and interest is part of that’, he said. -
