Thus, the Esper family is suing… the package tour company that arranged the trip to the synagogue, alleging that the company should have known about the terrorist danger at that destination. Lest you think the Germans have completely bought into the American system of jackpot justice, the Espers are only seeking 100,000 Euros in damages. A judge will decide the case October 27 if the parties don’t reach a settlement first.
