Hungarian Holocaust survivors and their heirs filed a class-action lawsuit in a Miami court against the United States seeking restitution for treasures allegedly stolen by the Nazis and later taken by U.S. troops. The lawsuit deals with the so-called Hungarian Gold Train, a shipment of Jewish property seized by the Nazis that fell into U.S. hands at the end of World War II.
