4122 US foreign policy regarding claims for unpaid insurance benefits arising out of the Holocaust extends to claims against the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims and insurance companies in nations with which no executive agreement has been executed, thus pre-empting a California statute purporting to give Holocaust victims and their survivors a right to sue insurance companies that had issued life policies to people killed by Hitler and justifying dismissal of an action brought by such persons against the International Commission and an Italian insurer.CitationSTEINBERG v INTERN'L COMM ON HOLOCAUST ERA INS CLAIMS (Holocaust Victims) 133 CA4 689 [See: CCP 354.5; American Ins v Garamendi 539 US 396, T/AT 11/03]
