Thanks, I'll go call my dead relatives now and let them know.
Dutch railroad apologizes for WWII role
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- The Dutch national railway company plans a public apology for the role it played in transporting Jews to concentration camps during World War II.
Aad Zeeman, chief executive of Nederland Spoorwegen, will acknowledge the company's collaboration with the wartime occupiers, the Times of London reported. The company admits it assisted in the transportation of 107,000 Jews and smaller numbers of Gypsies and homosexuals.
Only about 5,000 Jews returned to the Netherlands.
