Paying for the Past
Paying for the Past is a rare inside view of a class action, in this case brought against German industry by over one million former Slave and Forced labourers in 1999. The lawyers argue that the survivors of an unpaid, unwilling, badly treated World War II workforce contributed to the development of some of Europe's most prestigious companies. The case is legally complex, highly political and involves past issues almost too painful to revisit. It results in the biggest financial settlement ever but emotional closure is a separate issue.
