German Catholic Church uses charity organization for fraud involving 
compensation for slave laborers during the Hitler era.

Although the Catholic Church has always maintained to be a victim of 
Hitler's Nazi policy, the opposite is true. Not only it did nothing to 
prevent mass murders, it benefited by "renting" from SS the slave 
laborers brought from Eastern Europe, just like Bayer AG did for medical 
experiments at Aushwitz death camp.

Now, the victims who survived, demand to be paid for "free" services 
rendered to Catholic Church. And it agreed to pay back wages a few years 
ago. But to do that, they need money. So the German bishops invented a 
clever racket.

Catholic Church runs a tax exempt charity called Caritas. It is 
registered both in Germany and in Poland (along many other countries). 
In the Polish case, it is almost entirely paid for by the taxpayes on 
the premise of providing free services for the poor.  It turns out, 
however, that in 2001 German Bishops asked Cardinal Glemp (head of 
Polish Catholic Church) to use Caritas charity to pay the compensation 
money for the Catholic Church slave labor during the Hitler times. Any 
such payment violates charitable status of Caritas of Germany and 
Caritas of Poland.
