Does anybody know if the nations of Europe that participated in the holocaust (Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Romania) are still paying reparations to Israel? When do these payments cease? Who decided the size of what was owed? Was it the UN, World Court, or were these agreements individually negotiated? I’d like a reference where I could learn the details of these reparations.
