I thought this was an interesting article talking about the High Speed Train that will be going from Tampa to Orlando and eventually all the way to Miami. This article comes to us from Fox 35 News in Orlando.
A High Speed Rail meeting was held in Orlando Thursday , and there were big concerns about one company bidding on it.. French Railway Company, also called SNCF., is under fire because during World War II the company transported Jews to concentration camps.
The Florida High Speed Rail will go from Orland to Tampa. Passenger stations will also be in Lakeland, Walt Disney World, International Drive and Orlando International Airport.
The train will then eventually extend its service to Miami. So, could it be built by a company with ties to the Holocaust? One woman thinks so. She drove all the way from Boca Raton to be at the Florida Department of Transportations public meeting in Orlando.
Her message was to raise awareness about one of the companies interested in building Central Florida’s proposed high speed rail project. It turns out they worked hand in hand with the Nazis.
SNCF operates the world’s fastest passenger trains. Rosette Goldstein says her father, a French Jew, was transported by one of the company’s trains to a concentration camp during World War II.
They were paid per head and per kilometer for every prisoner that they took to the camps.
“We appreciate Mrs. Goldstein came up from Boca Raton to share her story with us. She told me she’s here to speak on be half of all the millions of people that died between World War II.” said Dick Kane, FDOT, Director of Communications.
