Facing up to a dark moment in its history, the United States in a landmark decision this week agreed for the first time to pay restitution to a group of Holocaust survivors.

But for Manhattanite and Hungarian Jewish leader David Moskovits, the preliminary settlement of the so-called Gold Train suit should have come long ago.

...The case involves the valuables of Hungarian Jews that were confiscated by the Nazis and then sold and looted by American troops.
Among the items were chandeliers, menorahs, earrings and rings from his family, Moskovits said.

...Stuart Eizenstat, a former deputy secretary of the Treasury who was a member of
the Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust-Era Assets in the United States that investigated the Gold Train, said
the agreement to settle the case demonstrates that the “U.S. is facing its own history.”
