Say Vatican Acted As Bank For Nazis Want 'Blood Money,' Not Apology For
Past Some U.S. Government Documents Support Their Claims
VATICAN CITY
CBS
(CBS) Sixty years after the atrocities of World War II, a Vatican
apology does little to heal the wounds of Holocaust survivors who��ve
wondered for years about the church��s association with the Nazis.
CBS News Correspondent Sandra Hughes reports many Holocaust survivors
are turning to the courts to get back some of the money taken from
their families.
Holocaust survivor George Zivkovich says an apology from the pope is
not enough.
When he was a young boy living in Serbia, the Croatian Nazi regime
stole his family fortune, killed his mother and grandfather and sent
him to a death camp.
"They took my childhood away, and they took my life away," he says. "I
want the blood money."
This spring, Swiss banks are expected to reach a settlement with
victims, as are German companies who used Jews for slave labor. But
this case accuses another bank of collaborating with the Croation
Nazis, the bank of the Catholic Church, the Vatican Bank.
John Loftus, an expert on Nazi war crimes, says, ""As embarrassing as
it is to me as a Roman Catholic to admit, there is a great deal of
validity to the accusations in the lawsuit.""
Loftus and others have charged that Pope Pius XII and his advisors
actually supported the Nazis by giving them a place to hide stolen
money.
"Basically, they turned the Vatican into money launderers," he says.
The Vatican denies the accusation, telling CBS News, "We can't return
what doesn't exist."
The lawsuit is relying on recently declassified secret intelligence
documents indicating that the U.S. government knew about the Vatican
action as far back as 1946.
A recent State Department investigation put the amount at $47 million
dollars.
