August 2, 2000: Swiss National Bank faces New Holocaust Lawsuit:

Plaintiffs in Alperin v. Vatican Bank, a class action lawsuit filed by Holocaust survivors seeking restitution of the Word War II Croatian-Nazi treasury have asked the court for leave to sue the Swiss National Bank in a motion filed August 2, 2000 in San Francisco Federal Court.

Lawyers for the Holocaust survivors and their families contend that Serb WWII victims were purposely omitted from the 1.25 billion Swiss Bank settlement. In WWII Croatia, the Nazi puppet government murdered upwards of 700,000 Serbs because of their religion and expelled or forcibly converted to Catholicism hundreds of thousands of others. The Serbs were persecuted because of their Eastern Orthodox Christian religion, which was considered heretical by the Catholic hierarchy. Just like the Jews, Serbs were exterminated in concentration camps or subject to murderous pogroms. Fanatic Croatian Catholics known as the Ustasha often supervised by priests committed the atrocities.

Documents in the plaintiffs’ possession show that the Swiss National Bank received substantial gold and silver deposits from the Croatian regime responsible for the genocide of Serbs. The US State Department has found that much of the gold and other treasure sent to Switzerland by the Croatians consisted of loot taken from victims of the Ustasha. Postwar, the gold trail becomes confused, although some loot was returned to Tito’s Yugoslavia, a substantial portion found its way to Argentina where with help from the Vatican escape route known as the "ratline", thousands of Ustasha war criminals and their supporters were resettled.

As late as 1952, the CIA reported Ustasha loot flowed to Buenos Aires from Switzerland. Plaintiffs are seeking an accounting and restitution from the Swiss National Bank and in particular information about Vatican accounts in Switzerland. The Vatican Bank is also accused of laundering substantial quantities of Ustasha plunder.
