Swiss Bankers
Begin Search

GENEVA-The Association of
Swiss Banks has circulated a
memorandum to member banks
asking them to "do their ut
most" to trace deposits which
might have belonged to deposi-
tors who perished in Nazi con-
centration camps and other vic
tins of racial, religious or
political persecution" during
the Hitler era.
The note accompanied copies
of a Swiss Federal decree, eff
fective September 1. instructing
all Swiss banks to pay out such
deposits or accounts to the legal
successors of the victims. The
decree was the first major step
in Switzerland to unfreeze de-
posits of persons who placed
funds and valuables under the
traditional secrecy of Swiss
banking rules and who Subse-
quently perished.
