Joel Fishman on The Eichmann Trial Diary by Sergio Minerbi

May 9, 2012 | Joel Fishman

From the Editors

April 15, 2007

This issue opens with articles on aspects of the post-Holocaust reality. Sidney Zabludoff's "At Issue" essay notes the low percentage of stolen Jewish assets that were returned in the various restitution rounds. He emphasizes the fact that the highly publicized restitution negotiations at the end of the twentieth century led to payment for no more than another 3 percent of these assets. Zabludoff's article, which has raised worldwide media interest even before being published, also underlines the divergence between what governments promised to return and what was restituted.
