persecution to share in the 1.25 billion setlement agreed to by swiss
banks"
"Potential beneficiaries include not only Jews but also jehova's
witnesses, gypsies (romany) , homosexuals and physcially or mentally
disabled or handicapped people who has assets depostied in banks,
performed slave labor for entities that may have deposited reveniues,

I was pleased to see this posting. I know there is a group in
california engaged in looking into the relevant disability history and
attempting to track victims.
This would be useful info for the classroom as well for our
files.
