Two U.S. senators introduced legislation that would allow Holocaust survivors and their heirs to sue companies that profited from slavery and forced labor during World War II. The bill, introduced by Sens. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Robert Torricelli (D-N.J.), would also cover Holocaust-era insurance claims, the forced sale of Jewish property under the Nazis’ Aryanization Program and the victims of involuntary medical experimentation.
