A Dutch rail company announced Wednesday that it would compensate Holocaust victims and their families for its role in transporting people during Nazi occupation to concentration and extermination camps.
Roger van Boxtel, CEO of Nederlandse Spoorwegen, unveiled the multi-million Euro proposal during an event in the Utrecht Railway Museum, German outlet Deutsche Welle reported.
Several thousand people, including an estimated 500 Jews, Roma and Sinti survivors who were transported to the extermination camps but lived, will be eligible to receive 15,000 Euros, according to the company.
Relatives and spouses of those who died after being relocated to the camps could receive between 5,000 and 7,500 Euros.
