$70 billion on, Claims Conf. marks 60 years of reparations from Germany
When representatives of Israel, Germany and the newly created Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany met 60 years ago in Europe to hammer out a reparations agreement for the crimes of Nazi Germany, some Holocaust survivors were still living in Displaced Persons camps on the continent.
Six decades on, much has followed from that first document signed in 1952, known as the Luxembourg Agreement.
Germany has paid the equivalent of more than $70 billion to survivors and programs that aid survivors. Israel and Germany have become close allies.
