Wasnt the Holocaust over long ago? Isnt it slightly ridiculous for the State of Maryland to be dredging up memories of French collaboration with the Nazis? Actually no, not when it comes to the French rail company, SNCF.
For this reason: The company never expressed any regret nor paid any compensation for transporting tens of thousands of Jews to Nazi killing centers.
Now the company wants to do business in the US. Now the company has that ubiquitous disease, Business Alzheimers, by which it forgets its moral failings and financial responsibilities to the families of the victims.
Kudos to Maryland for standing up to SNCF, demanding full disclosure as a condition for doing business in the state. Colorado: Take note.
