Dutch trains to compensate descendants of Jews deported to Nazi camps

The Netherland's state-owned railway company made millions during WWII for operating trains that sent hundreds of thousands of Jews, including Anne Frank, to their deaths in Nazi camps.

The Netherlands state-owned train company, Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), will compensate individuals whose Jewish relatives were deported on its trains to concentration and extermination camps when the country was under Nazi-German occupation during World War II.

Announced Tuesday on the nightly public television news show, the decision marks the first time that the train company will pay damages to individual descendants of Holocaust victims. Previously the NS had donated money to various remembrance projects.
