Robert speaks with Willi Korte (KOR-tay), a lawyer and World War II historian, about the announcement that Switzerland's three largest banks are setting up a fund in memory of Holocaust victims. Korte discusses the nature of Switzerland's neutrality during the war - Switzerland sheltered some Jewish refugees, but turned away others. It also accommodated offices for both the OSS and German intelligence agencies. Korte says the big question is how much of the billions of dollars worth of gold and art that flowed through Switzerland during the war is still there.
