(810) 354-6620 SWISS page 63 Switzerland's Parliament, meanwhile, has promised a com- prehensive investigation, exempt from all bank secrecy laws, into the fate of all assets that reached Switzerland as a result of Nazi rule. Such an investigation will likely take five years, Swiss of- ficials say. A separate inquiry by the Swiss Bankers Association and the World Jewish Congress, led by former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, will de- termine the value of dormant Swiss bank accounts belonging to Holocaust victims. The WJC claims that up to $7 billion in Jewish money is lan- guishing in those accounts, while Swiss bankers say they have only found about $32 million in un- claimed assets. "What is needed now is an unimpeded search for the truth," Swiss Foreign Minister Flavio Cotti said recently. After reports that Switzerland may have held on to 90 percent of the Nazi gold stash, Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, called for a renego- tiation of the postwar agreement between Switzerland and the Al- lies on the redistribution of loot- ed assets. After the war, the Allies had settled for $60 million, believing that was the most they could get. In response to a letter to Sec- retary of State Warren Christo- pher from Sen. D'Amato, the State Department promised a "thorough and immediate study" of all aspects of the agreement, including the extent of U.S. knowledge about the disburse- ment of Nazi assets. Indeed, Jewish officials say Switzerland is not the only coun- try that owes an accounting. Part of the $60-million gold stash Switzerland turned over to the Allies 50 years ago is now ly- ing in central banks in the Unit- ed States and Britain, according to documents uncovered by the WJC. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is believed to be hous- ing two tons of looted Nazi gold, estimated to be worth about $28 million. An additional 3.5 tons of gold, worth about $56 million, is in the Bank of England, WJC of- ficials said. After allegations about the gold holdings, Edgar Bronfrnan, president of the WJC and the World Jewish Restitution Orga- nization, appealed to top Ameri- can, British and French officials to make the money available to "individual sufferers from Nazi persecution, their heirs and their families." None of the Nazi gold has ever found its way back to Holocaust victims, according to WJC offi- cials. "What we're talking about here has nothing to do with mon- ey," Mr. Steinberg said. "It has everything to do with justice. What is important is that this last bit of gold, as a final measure, as a final bit of justice, go back to some of the victims from whom it came." ❑ (c)Jewish Telegraphic Agency Pharmos Corp.
