Germans take moral responsibility in Nazi slave labor compensation agreement

"Germans and German industry take moral responsibility for Nazi war crimes." This historical statement is enclosed in the proposed agreement concerning the payment of compensation for Nazi slave labor victims. It is expected that this agreement will be finally signed on June 2. All the companies, which during World War II were forcing many citizens of occupied countries to slave labor, will create a special fund that together with the German government will pay DM 10 billion in compensation. About DM 2 billion from that fund is allocated to Poles. (Zycie, page 1) A.D.
