The Federal Reserve Bank of New York melted down $23 million of Nazi gold in the 1950s, according to The New York Times. There is no evidence that the gold was taken from Holocaust victims. A report issued earlier this year by the U.S. government asserted that the Nazis smelted gold taken from Holocaust victims with gold taken from central banks in Europe.
