Americans who suffered war damages in Poland may file compensation claims with the Polish Government, the State Department announced today. The announcement is especially important for Jews who claim property in Poland left by relatives who died during the Nazi occupation.
The Polish Government has not yet begun payment of compensation to Polish citizens, but the Polish Foreign Office has advised that American and other Allied nationals may expect payment after Polish citizens have been recompensed.
