WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court allowed
Holocaust survivors on Tuesday to proceed with a lawsuit
claiming that the Vatican Bank and a Franciscan religious order
profited from property stolen by Croatia’s pro-Nazi World War
Two government.

The justices declined to review a ruling by a U.S. appeals
court that reinstated the suit, which claimed the Order of
Friars Minor conspired with the Vatican Bank to facilitate the
transfer of gold and other looted valuable assets.

The Holocaust survivors filed the lawsuit in federal court
in San Francisco in 1999 accusing the defendants of receiving
property stolen from victims of Croatia’s brutal Ustasha regime
from 1941 to 1945. As many as 700,000 people, mostly Serbs,
were killed at death camps run by the regime.
