Compensation payments awarded to a Nazi victim under German indemnification legislation can now be transferred abroad without restriction to his country of residence, according to a directive issued by the Bonn Ministry of Economics.
The transfer of such payments to nations outside the dollar area has been possible for some months now; transfers to the United States, Canada and some other countries were previously limited to $120 a month. The new freedom of transfer does not apply to funds deriving from the restitution of identifiable property.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
