Covering Their Tracks: The French National Railroad and its Role in the Holocaust

Lawyer Rafi Prober explains the role he played in the pursuit of justice from SNCF, France’s national, state-owned railway, for transporting 76,000 Jews and thousands of others toward concentration camps during the Holocaust. SNCF was paid per head and per kilometer to do so, and for decades refused to accept accountability. In collaboration with Tablet Studios, Rafi has helped to create a five-part documentary podcast that tells this extraordinary story, available here.
Rafi Prober is a partner and co-head of the congressional investigations practice at the law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, where he represents entities and individuals in high profile Congressional and other governmental investigations. He previously served as an Associate Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice during the Obama Administration. In addition to his traditional practice at Akin, Rafi has devoted significant time to pro bono efforts, including spearheading the firm’s pro bono representation of hundreds of Holocaust survivors and family members in their pursuit of justice from the French railroad company that was responsible for deporting these victims toward the death camps.

Thank you sir, this is quite relevant at this moment in time. I just don’t understand why? Why humans dislike other humans. Doesn’t anyone learn from history? Thank you again . I’ve actually read the story of that boy who jumped from the train. Brave, brave boy. Leon I think wasn’t it. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
