VIENNA (AP) — An Austrian fund to compensate victims of Nazi
persecution is shutting down after paying out $210 million (nearly 168
million euros) — for just a fraction of the claims it recognized over
its 11 years of existence.
A statement from the Reparation Fund
for the Victims of National Socialism said Tuesday that it is ending its
work after dealing with the last of 20,702 applications since starting
work in 2001.
