German Chancellor Dr. Konrad Adenauer today promised to intercede to ensure Justice for Jews who suffered physical injuries in Nazi concentration camps, according to a Jewish delegation which met here with the Chancellor.

Moses I. Socachevsky, chairman of the Committee of Nazi Victims Deprived of Justice and Compensation by the German Medical Service, reported that Dr. Adenauer promised to do “everything in his power for Justice in disability cases.”

The group protested against the “inhuman attitude” taken by German medical officials and indemnification agencies in the processing of claims of Nazi victims for injury to health incurred in concentration camps. The group sought review of claims by an objective board rather than by “the long distance diagnosis” of “hostile medical bureaucrats” including ex-Nazis.
