While Eichmann reneged on the deal and had the train sent to Bergen Belsen, the train was finally released after four months of negotiations and the passengers finally obtained their freedom when they arrived in Switzerland.
The annual gathering also serves as a dinner and the main fundraising event for the Satmar school system in Brooklyn, which currently has an enrollment of over 13,000 children in their yeshiva and schools and according to reports in the press owns properties valued at over $500 Million throughout the state of New York.
