I'd bet the ranch this is for use in lawsuits that have already been planned. It will also be used in testimony to legislatures in Europe and the US. The good news is it will fuel anti-Jewish sentiment.

[url="http://www.iht.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=JERUSALEM&sort=swishrank"][color=#3360aa]JERUSALEM[/color][/url] An Israeli government report that claims to be the first of its kind has set material damage to the Jewish people during the Holocaust at some $240 billion to $330 billion.

Although previous studies have estimated the value of looted Jewish property, the Israeli government calculation includes lost income and wages, as well as unpaid wages from forced Jewish labor.

The report estimates the value of plundered Jewish property at $125 billion, at current prices. It estimates the loss of income at $104 billion to $155 billion, and unpaid wages of forced laborers at $11 billion to $52 billion.

The holocaust industry has more than made up anything that was lost.

What about money they've stolen, since then, to offset this?

We'll start with Gary Winnick's 600M bucks.
