U.S. Undersecretary of State for Economics Stuart Eizenstat is slated to meet with Swiss officials this week to discuss Switzerland’s response to charges that it hoarded Jewish wealth stored in Swiss bank accounts during World War II. The meetings, to take place at a European economic summit in Davos, Switzerland, will include Swiss President Flavio Cotti and Special Ambassador Thomas Borer, who has served as Switzerland’s leading trouble-shooter on Holocaust issues.
