The Bavarian Central Denazification Court has ruled that the government is entitled to confiscate only 20 percent of the property of Hans Kerrl, Nazi Minister for Churches who in his official capacity shared responsibility for the persecution of Jews.
A local denazification court earlier ruled that Kerrl, who died in 1941, had been a Nazi “activist” and the government was entitled to seize 80 percent of his property. The widow appealed and the latest court decision resulted.
