Eighty years on, Italian victims of Nazi crimes finally to get compensation

The descendants of six Italian civilians who were hanged by German troops in 1943 are set to receive 12 million euros ($13 million) in compensation. The Italian court ruling awards the money to the families as compensation for their trauma. The funds will be paid by Italy rather than Germany, after Italy lost a legal battle over whether Germany should be liable for World War Two crimes.
