It was SNCF that transported Jews in the Second World War

US lawmakers have re-introduced legislation that seeks to hold the SNCF, France's state-owned rail company, accountable for its role in transporting Jews to their deaths during the Holocaust.
US Senator Chuck Schumer led a bipartisan group of sponsors in introducing the measure late Wednesday that would hold the railway culpable in American courts.
The move would allow US victims to pursue lawsuits against the company, which argues that it is immune to legal action under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, which limits the ways in which foreign countries can be sued in US court.
Val says We all know Jews were transported in trains in the war but it had not crossed my mind that the trains would be owned by an independent company but one wonders what else could they have done.

SNCF has formally expressed remorse for the Nazi collaboration and insisted it was forced by France's World War II German occupiers to help deport 75,000 French Jews to Nazi death camps, and noted that 2,000 of its own rail workers were executed.
