A total of $300,000 in claims against the German Government for loss of liberty and loss of health has been filed by 128 claimants in the Miami area, it was reported by the National Council of Jewish Women office here which helped the claimants prepare the necessary documents. The claimants are former displaced persons.
The claims do not cover loss of property or loss of life. Claims for indemnification against the German Government at Bonn for loss of health were substantiated by certificates issued by Mount Sinai hospital here, where a number of the applicants were given medical examinations.
