The Jewish controversy
A controversy after the second world war, around life insurances of murdered Jews, was dropped. Estimates said that 110.000 Jews had had a life insurance policy at Assicurazioni Generali, but according to court papers only 5.200 had been payed out to heirs.
An episode of Law & Order, called “Blood Money” was inspired by the controversy.
