Paris, France - France's top judicial body has recognized the French government's responsibility for the deportation of Jews during World War II.

The Council of State's declaration is the clearest such recognition of the French government's role in the Holocaust.

The council found that the French government at the time was responsible for deportations that led to anti-Semitic persecution.

The decision released today also found that the deportations have been "compensated for" since 1945.

Should be a vote in France and other European countries in any election for every Jew that was Deported, killed, his money taken away, and the estimated descendants and influence their money could have had.
Then they should look at the Jewish community institutions in their own country and abroad that could have benefited spiritually and monetarily from the Jews in their countries help Jews all over the world have more kids , and help them with whatever they need to enlarge the Jewish population and then maybe if they really do that and other things like that could start thinking that maybe they could say they started in the right direction to compensate, but to say they were compensated? who are they kidding?
