The Supreme Court has dealt a severe blow to Holocaust survivors and their families in a long-running lawsuit seeking compensation from Hungary for property confiscated during World War II. The court threw out an appeals court ruling that had allowed the lawsuit to continue, citing a federal law that generally shields sovereign nations from suits in U.S. courts. The survivors argued that Hungary sold off the property and used the proceeds to issue bonds and buy military equipment in the U.S. The case has been sent back to the U.S. Court of Appeals, but it's unclear how much is left of the lawsuit.
