The Tripartite Gold Commission is wrapping up more than five decades of work. The panel, run by the United States, Britain and France, has finished distributing the 336.5 tons of gold Nazi Germany looted from European countries and will turn its archives over for storage to the French Foreign Ministry. The World Jewish Congress has been pressing the commission to open its archives in hopes that the documents may shed light on how much of the gold was stolen from individuals.
