新奇事件簿 荷兰铁路赔偿大屠杀受害者(在线收听

Holland's national railway company is going to compensate victims of the Holocaust. World War II ended over 70 years ago, but the Dutch railway has decided to give compensation to people who were taken to Nazi concentration camps on their trains. The company is known as NS. After Germany invaded Holland in 1940, NS trains transported thousands of Jews and other minorities to Nazi death camps. By the end of 1943, most Jews in the Netherlands had been removed and deported. Seven decades later, NS will pay tens of millions of euros to about 500 survivors and to members of their direct family. The company will pay between 5,000 euros to 15,000 euros to each victim.

荷兰国家铁路公司将赔偿犹太人大屠杀受害者。虽然二战结束70多年,但荷兰铁路公司决定赔偿那些乘坐他们的火车被带往纳粹集中营的人。该家公司名为NS。1940年德国入侵荷兰后,NS铁路向纳粹死亡集中营运输了数千名犹太人和其他少数族裔。截止到1943年,大多数在荷兰的犹太人已经被驱逐出境。70年后,NS将向约500名幸存者以及他们的直系亲属支付数千万欧元。该公司将向每位受害者支付5000到15000欧元不等。

The company said the payments were part of the company's historical responsibility. It said the company was paid by the Nazis to take the victims to the border. The victims were put on German trains and taken to concentration camps. A spokesman said this was "a black page in the history of the company". He added: "There is no reasonable or appropriate amount of money that [we can pay to] compensate in any way for the suffering inflicted on the victims." The committee said the payments were "a moral gesture". It added: "NS wishes to express the recognition of its share in the individual suffering inflicted by the occupying forces on those involved and their direct surviving relatives."

该公司表示赔偿是该公司历史责任的一部分。其表示公司受雇于纳粹,帮他们向受害者运到边界。受害者们被带上德国火车并被送往集中营。一名发言人表示这是“公司历史上黑暗的一章”。他补充道:“没有一个合理或合适的数额能够赔偿受害者承受的苦难。”委员会表示赔款是“一种道德姿态”。其还表示:“NS希望展现出自己承认,它对占领军队对受害者及其直系幸存亲属所造成的痛苦负有责任。”
