U.S.-led talks aimed at compensating Holocaust survivors who worked as slave and forced laborers for Nazi Germany concluded Wednesday with many thorny issues still unresolved. At a meeting at the U.S. State Department, representatives of German firms and of Holocaust victims agreed to set up two working groups that will try to hammer out differences by a Sept. 1 deadline. U.S. Undersecretary of State Stuart Eizenstat said the issues still to be resolved include determining who should be the beneficiaries of compensation funds, how the fund would be operated and how to achieve legal closure of the issue.
