A

ladar Kohen feels desperate,
as he must make an almost
instant decision before the
Nazis take over Hungary. Kohen must
choose between two types of Swiss
bank accounts while trying to safe-
guard his family's vast funds.
Should he put the money in a
Swiss bank account under his Jewish
surname and risk that all will be
confiscated if the Germans take over
Switzerland? Should he put the assets
in a trustee account using the name of
his banker and presume the cash will
be turned over to family members
surviving the war?
Kohen's dilemma and the repercus-
sions from his choice are at the center
of a new novel, Trust (Greenleaf Book
Group Press; $23.95). The character's
concerns represent some real issues
that were not addressed during the
1990s, when Jews gained access to
dormant accounts deposited in Swiss
banks as the Nazis were gaining power.
Author Charles Epping will dis-
cuss why some Holocaust survivors
should explore whether they might
have funds in trustee accounts during
a book-signing session beginning 7
p.m. Tuesday, July 25, at Borders in
Farmington Hills. Epping, an interna-
tional financial consultant, based his
characters on people he met in the
course of his work.

Charles Epping: "I would not associ-

ate categorical dishonesty with the

Swiss."

As he tours with his book, Epping

informally advises people who think
their relatives might have estab-

lished trustee accounts.
