Dr. Ackerman Deutche Bank Does DB Owe My Friend Auschwitz Survivor Money?
My friend's back was broken after a particularly brutal beating Auschwitz. After being descended upon Sunday night by Deutsche Bank security who refused to identify themselves and their employer I was forced to remove a sign around my neck demanding a hospital and art work around my wrist - imply no hospital costs lives... The behavior of Mr. Ackerman's unprofessional and abuse secretive private military security for me early stages Nazi Germany - researching DB role shocking and reprehensible and as much hiding the truth as security harassing me refusing to admit Deutsche Bank private security and violating my 1st amendment right as an artist as well as activist -- my research makes me believe DB owes my friend money. I am in shock. Have not told my friend and his family yet.

"In February 1999, Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest bank, issued an explosive announcement that an independent historical commission reviewing the bank's wartime activities discovered that Deutsche Bank financed the building of Auschwitz. (Deutsche Bank disclosed that officials discovered documents showing a branch of the bank in Nazi-occupied Katowice, Poland, had provided loans to construction companies with contracts for facilities at Auschwitz, as well as an adjacent IG Farben chemicals plant.) Earlier, in August 1998, the historical commission confirmed that Deutsche Bank profited from gold plundered from Holocaust victims. A historical report of the Dresdner Bank, the second-largest bank in Germany, found that in Nazi-occupied lands the saying went, “Right after the first German tank comes Dr. Rasche from the Dresdner Bank.” The first class action filed against the German banks for their wartime activities was filed in June 1998 in federal court in Manhattan. Plaintiffs, three elderly Holocaust survivors and all United States citizens, sued on behalf of themselves and on behalf of 10,000 Holocaust survivors and victims' relatives. Named as defendants were Deutsche Bank and Dresdner Bank AG, both headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany. The lawsuit charged the two banks with profiting from the looting of gold and other personal property from Jews. The complaint sought a total of $18 billion in compensatory damages and unspecified exemplary damages. "In October 1998, the lawsuit was amended to add as defendants two Austrian banks, Creditanstalt and its parent bank, Bank Austria. Creditanstalt was accused both of profiting from the proceeds of slave labor during the war and of participating and profiting from the looting or “Aryanization” of Jewish-owned assets in Austria. The Austrian banks claimed that they should not be held legally responsible for participating in the theft of gold and other assets of Jewish victims because Creditanstalt was taken over by Deutsche Bank in 1938 as part of Germany's annexation of Austria. Later that same month, the German banks were hit by a second class action lawsuit filed in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, by a another group of attorneys representing a different set of Holocaust survivors and heirs. The lawsuit named Germany's Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, and Commerzbank as defendants. The lawsuit accuses the banks of refusing to return assets of Jewish survivors and of financing and profiting from Nazi slave labor. Eventually, a total of eight cases were filed against the German and Austrian banks.” http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/claims1.html
