State-owned NS paid millions for operating trains that sent 102,000 people to their deaths

The Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) was paid £2.2m in today’s money for delivering 102,000 Jews to concentration camps across Europe. In 2005, the company’s then chief executive, Aad Veenman, offered “apologies from the bottom of his heart and in all modesty”.
