Jack Rubin is a Hungarian Holocaust survivor involved in a class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Miami in 2001 on the 56th anniversary of Germany’s surrender to the Allies. Rubin was forced to help load what became known as the “Gold Train” with gold, jewelry, art, clothing, oriental rugs and other household goods and religious articles. The train was seized by the U.S. Army in Austria in 1945 and the suit said the army falsely classified it as unidentifiable and enemy property, which avoided having to return the goods to their rightful owners.
The suit was brought by Hungarian Jews in Miami, where many of them live. The suit claimed the United States made no effort to return the goods and lied to Hungarian Jews who sought information about their property after the war. The property was estimated to now be worth ten times its original $200 million valuation.
