As the Jewish Voice reported the other week, a long-unfolding scandal concerning the massive diversion of Claims Conference funds – intended for needy Holocaust survivors – has finally come to its sad conclusion. In the latest chapter of this pathetic saga, three individuals (including a senior manager) who had been entrusted to appropriately process the millions of dollars paid by Germany and other heirs of Nazi tyranny as restitution for horrendous crimes committed against the Jewish people, betrayed that sacred trust by pilfering the funds for themselves. Altogether, a grand total of 31 people have been convicted for playing a role in the gigantic ripoff scheme that extended for an incredible period of 15-plus years. Making a bad situation much worse, there appears to be ample evidence that the higher-ups at the Claims Conference did not perform their due diligence and take the proper action to stem what ended up being a mind-boggling $57 million fraud.
