The Association of Racial Persecutees of Bratislava has submitted a complaint to the Czechoslovak war Ministry charging that discrimination on against Jews exists within the machinery set up by the government for granting special certificates to former partisans and ex-concentration camp prisoners.

A similar charge has been raised by the Bratislava newspaper Tribuna which asserts that the Office of the Legions, a local department of the War Ministry, discriminates against Jews. The certificates issued by the Ministry entitle bearers to various preferences in their dealings with the government.
